This issue is currently plaguing me in therapy as well. I find it extremely difficult to express what is going on in my head. Then when I do finally get some information out I realize after the session that what I actually said was a distortion of the truth or in some cases a flat out lie. Then I feel like crap because I'm defeating the purpose of therapy if I lie to her. Because of this cycle I'm afraid to speak without thinking about what I say first. Which then further inhibits my ability to talk.

It is like negative feedback cycle that I can't seem to break: She says I need to verbalize stuff to help me process it -->but when I do verbalize it comes out distorted -->which makes me feel guilty/dishonest/ like I am being overdramatic --> so I don't talk/withhold important information because I can't figure out what it true and what isn't--> she can't help me because she don't have an accurate picture of what is going on.

I have not idea how to correct this behavior.
