My biggest issue is that when I talk to t, I often feel like whatever problem I had before is less problematic. Somehow, just talking to T makes me feel better and make whatever crisis I had been experiencing that day seem a little bit overly dramatic. So during session, I come across as doing okay. But either before session or after session, I am a complete mess.

After working with me for a while, most of my therapists have gathered this about me and can usually tell, either by tone of voice or something in my body language, that I'm not being completely honest and will press me for more details. And then as we start talking, sometimes the problem becomes more problematic again. If that makes any sense at all.
