This has been my biggest problem in therapy, and in life actually. My therapist has suggested/wondered many times if some of the things that happened were before I had developed much speech and so that reverting back to those traumas sort of makes it hard to have words. This is also partially because while writing is easier/better for me, I struggle with words.

We use email a lot, or I bring in things I've written. But I also relate to just going in there can be triggering. I've been seeing this therapist for three years as of this month and I finally feel like this summer was the most I've consistently been able to *talk*, though that has also been accompanied by horrible panic attacks in session.
