I can't say that I do. That doesn't mean he knows everything either; not everything is particularly relevant to what I am there. But if it is relevant, I tell him about it. Is that easy? Not always; sometimes it feels impossible but I do it anyway. I made a promise to myself that I was going to walk through whatever fire I had to walk through to get to the other side. That meant talking about very difficult, sometimes embarrassing, often terrify and painful things. But for me, that is what I needed to do, so I bit the bullet and did it. My therapists knew when I was struggling with talking and they were patient and found ways to help me feel safe saying whatever it was I needed to get out.
