Yes. I was not completely honest with my therapist for a number of years - trust issues, you know. When I decided to reveal all I was able to look him in the eye.

So, as you thought, the more that I ‘opened up,’ it became second nature to look him in the eye. I didn’t feel that I trusted him, though; I just wanted to get a lot of crap out of my head and decided that I’d nothing to lose.

Alas, I have to find a new shrink and therapist, now. And I’m putting it off.
