I am trying to trust my t but every week she gives me a reason not to trust her.
I have tried the "I have something to say but it's hard for me line" my t does not mince her words or beat around the bush. She will just tell me to spit it out and when I stutter trying to get it out she will pretend she didn't hear me and make me say it again.
I imagine it's a relief to be so direct with your t?

It is quite a relief to know I can say pretty much anything--stuttering, even--and not have to face ridicule or harshness or anything really beyond polite professional regard. It's ****ing awesome, actually. I can't imagine trying to do therapy without that.
I do know what it's like, though, to not take my own advice. And I know what it's like to have to walk on eggshells around other people. It usually sucks.
I hope it all works out for you, Mona. I think you deserve to have a therapy situation work out for you. I see a lot of kindness in your posts; you deserve to be treated with the same kindness.
