I have a few documents relating to my childhood that I requested from social services as a means to validate my memories. They have greatly. I have had them for about two years now and reference them in session every now and again.


Once my T asked if she could read them, in passing right towards the end, we never mentioned it again, I never replied, but it stuck with me.


2 years later I have said i would like to share a particular document. part of me is because again i want it validated, i want to share this thing with her that is actually very sad to read and kinda expresses a part of me that we have to work with over the next year or just in general if i am going to make any progress.


I brought this up at the end of the session. It was a hard thing for me to even mention and i feel kinda brave even saying I have been thinking about...


However, now i kinda feel like i am asking too much or maybe this is oversharing? Basically she responded 'i am interested in what makes you want to share them'. It kinda made me feel dirty I suppose, like i was asking for too much intimacy. The reasons i want to share them are mainly because i am trying to trust her more, the documents feel like a heavily load if I am honest and they do feel intimate, but i feel alone in reading them and having them to myself.


Is this approiate? Is me asking this and wanting to share this appropriate?
