I pretty much adore my t (most of the time) but there is one thing I do wish had been explained more at the very beginning and it's one of the things you mentioned budfox "failing to explain risks before rummaging thru your psyche". I do wish she had explained this a little bit more.... not enough to scare me away, because on the whole this therapy experience has been the best thing I've ever done for myself, but certainly with more than one little sentence that said something like "difficult feelings can and often do emerge". that was about it as far as explaining the risks.
