I'm a new member, but long time lurker and joined and just wanted to say that I completely relate to what you have written. I am having exactly the same problems with my T, and it is not a reflection on her, she is wonderful. I have been seeing her for a year (although every other week) and have yet to show much emotion during a session (often it comes later when I am back at home, and alone). It's quite strange because I can feel emotional/tearful about the anticipation of what we are going to talk about when I am on my own, but when I'm there it's gone. Logically I understand that she is used to seeing people become emotional about things, and I'm sure she would handle it well.... just can't seem to let myself be that vulnerable in front of another person (not yet anyway). I will be following to see what others have to say about their experiences.

I am pretty quiet in therapy. I can make a bit of small talk and be quite chatty at the beginning, but once we start getting into stuff its like my brain just shuts down. I do a lot of fidgeting with my hands too.
