I'm sorry you're feeling this way, Mona. What advice do you think you'd give someone in a similar situation? Is it possible to write T a letter and hand it over? Or say "there's something I'd like to say but it's hard for me" and start from there?

I don't know. I'm not sure there's any kind of secret with these things beyond just forcing yourself to do it.

Most of the time I'm pretty direct with my T because I can be and because it irritates me when he *****-foots. 20 minute sessions probably have something to do with it. But then I've never had anything particularly distressing to say about him to him.

Good luck.
