This is absolutely brilliant. I love it!!

OP - I used to be afraid to bring things up with my therapist. I worked on trust - because I found that it meant I didn’t really trust him. Once I got to a point of trusting him, it became a lot easier.

Do you have the option to email or text? I used to send an email or text that started with “I’m really scared to tell you this but...”. And then I’d just blab it. And then we’d talk about it in session - but he always left it up to me to bring it up (which drove me crazy because I really wanted him to bring it up - but he was honouring my freedom and right to direct the therapy).

Now I find him really easy to talk to about anything and everything. But I had to learn to trust him first.
