The problem I had with opening up was my past. I’ve been battling with clinical depression for most of my life but only been making going to therapy a regular thing for 4 years now. When i was in preschool my mom had me go to a school counselor but that wasn’t the best experience because I didn’t feel comfortable with it being in school and feeling judged by classmates. That then gave me a bad taste as to what therapy really was. It is why it took me a couple months to open up and trust my therapist.
