I suppose I'm of the mind that if I want to work on something then it's my responsibility to tell the t. Plus, I'm not one to want to waste time sitting there wondering when the t was going to figure out what I want/need to work on.

Wonder if them figuring it out somehow validates it for you? Like, you know you're depressed but maybe don't think it's that big a deal unless/until the t recognizes it in you and brings it up?
That's the way! I agree, it is the clients responsibility to bring things up if you want to work on it! I totally agree, I am just so so afraid hah.

I think yeah, as you say it is somewhat validating. I feel like if I say it, I'm almost self diagnosing? I donno. My mind is just a bit of a pest
