Oh I totally get that. Even though logically you know that the chances are small, it is still scary. But I think the risk is worth it. Also, I don't think you need to feel embarrassed about the fear of rejection by a therapist. I think it is super common...and it makes sense in a way. The therapy relationship is so totally one way. In normal friendships you trade little secrets over time, but in therapy it is just you sharing secrets...and you are expected to do it fairly quickly.
But each time you do and they don't reject you, you feel a little safer.
