do you think you are over talking as a way to mask your true self or to keep people at a distance , even in therapy? |
Well, first of all, when I'm at therapy, it IS about me, so I have every right to ramble on.
But, what I meant was, I tell my therapist EVERYTHING that happens in my life. I don't hold back anything. He does a lot of the talking a lot of the time, but when I do talk, he gets the good, the bad, and the ugly. I just wonder if he needs this much info. I am going to talk about it with him, but I also just wondered if others have the same experiences. How much time to people say "whoa. Too much information. Sorry about that."
