I have a hard time expressing myself and usually I minimize things or just simply skip them and smile instead, so writing helps me to do that if there's something on my mind or something that's hard for me to share. I don't do it for every session but my T gets excited when I do now because usually there's lot of information about me and what's going on with me. I don't email, I actually prefer to see his reaction now and have him respond right away. He would prefer if I read it out loud but I've only done it couple times. And I tend to skip things I'm not comfortable with so I prefer he reads it himself, although he will only read it out loud which I'm ok with now as he gets to comment on things. I have to say it's been challenging for me to get out of comfort zone and share things and especially feelings (I had no idea people do that before therapy) but every time I bring my writings into session, it turns out to be great and insightful session, and he has taken everything really well so far, so at the end I feel better for sharing, even if it's something I felt ashamed about.
