Hello (((NUMBERS))). I am sorry that you are struggling at this time with communication with your therapist. Journaling is very good to help you feel less evasive in therapy, when you see a therapist. Even typing out what you want to say and then printing it out and putting it in a notebook, and then taking the notebook with you at your sessions has helped many to feel less threatened by presenting the problems to their therapist, if communication is an issue. Then as time goes by and you feel more adequate and capable of divulging certain experiences to your therapist, then you have the Facts at hand to go back and tell your therapist things that have been on your mind all along. I agree with everyone here that has given very good advice, just telling your therapist you are having trouble communicating your problems to them wil help open a door somewhat so that your therapsit can beging to see where the sessions should lead for the future sessions. Nothing is more important than the truth if you are having trouble communicating with the therapist, then that is certainly something that needs to be addressed so you feel comfortable telling your therapist things in the future, without feeling disregarded by your therapist or that you should start feeling ignored or lessened by frustration, by not being able to have your needs met. Also another thing I would like to mention is that even though you can not communicate as effectively at this time as you would like, your Therapist is very well trained in what is happening through diagnostic and reasonable asessment techniques, and you do not have to feel ignored by not being able to communicate since your therapist is highly trained in assessing the situation by diagnostic reasoning and assurance to be able to treat you while you are not able to communicate effectively. If you have a diagnosis there is always a structured manner in which your therapist will evaluate your sessions and Still try to meet your needs while you are struggling to communicate, so just try to do the best you can and the therapist can help you with your communication problems while giving you adequate therapeutic care as well. Take care (((NUMBERS))). I hope things get better for you soon. Soidhonia. .
