We have a lot of silence. Me feeling safe enough to talk is a struggle, so T lets me talk when I feel it’s okay to, he never breaks a silence and takes over. We probably only talk about 50-60% of a session. When we do talk, it’s probably a 40/60 split with me speaking less. Maybe even 30/70. He does a lot of what I would guess is psychoeducation.

I am glad I control when we talk, even though I am sometimes uncomfortable with the silence. And I often feel I am getting something from the silences.
