Yes, will let you know when/if I give it a try. The potential increase in intensity and/or vulnerability scares and unnerves me too, but I feel like it's worth a shot if I can get myself to do it. My therapist has been right in the past when he's suggested other ways to move things forward more effectively, so using the couch seems far more plausible than it might with a therapist I trusted less. Maybe if I give myself permission to just sit on it or something...
