I write her letters sometimes, which is similar to journaling for me. I gave her a pretty long one a little while ago, and she read it and started talking about one thing... I think she chose the topic because ahe knew that its one thing I needed to get out first because my guilt and grief was in the way of everything else. The session after, she asked about one certain thing right away, and thats one of the main issues.

So, I like when she chooses a topic. She seems to get it right all the time, and she kniws that the approach of simply letting me start something doesn't work because I tend to blank and dismiss my thoughts.

Im I have handed her my journal, too. Maybe I can just tell her one day, but for now, the writing has opened an awesome door...
