I mean, I would really think about why you are hesitant to talk about it and then, you know, talk about it. Therapy can be a place for trying new things and changing the way we approach relationships. It can be really hard to share things that show how vulnerable and needy we are but, at least in my experience, doing that is very freeing and has shed light on how closed off I am to others in "normal" life.
Anyway, my therapist is out of town for a week so I am right there with you.

Thanks for the reply. All feeling are up for discussion, I just can't initiate anything.. I really struggle with being open and all that when I'm there. But yeah, it would be very revealing and embarrassing for me to show this. I'm trying to work on all this openness stuff, I just don't seem to get very far. I generally can type a bit out in email form, but even that is pushing it with certain topics.. I donno. It's all worth talking about, just not sure I have the ability to do so!
