Early on my t stated that there would be more silences as we had gotten past the intake/introduction phase. I freaked out on her, my first meltdown. Needless to say anytime that there isn't enough of her talking, I have an issue. We've had some silences and depending on the situation, she'll give me words; she'll let me sit for a bit and then ask me what is going on; in one of the last sessions, she let the silence linger a bit longer than usual, she did move, and that caught my attention as I was looking at the floor in between us... and I got this bashful smile (that I hate) took a deep breath and started talking. I have a feeling that she's going to start moving us more to that silence spot as she sorts out my tolerance level for it.
