Yes, this makes me think of my third session with my current T where I just totally opened up to him about ex-Marriage counselor. And I felt totally exposed afterward and fearful he wouldn’t want to work with me anymore. Do I emailed him and he responded with something fairly long that...totally wasn’t what I needed. But anyway, I was scared and talked about it more with him next session, which helped. I’ve had other moments too where I fear I’ve overshared, that he wouldn’t want to deal with me anymore, that I was too much. But each time I tried to just check in with him and he reassured me. So, talk about your feelings and fears. Even if it’s scary.
