I don’t have words. I feel like I’ve hardly touched the surface in therapy yet, but I’m starting to get so anxious over having the responsibility of starting these sessions that I’m beginning to think of ways to cancel my appointments.
She encourages emails outside of session but I don’t like to do that. I don’t want to invade into her time outside of our sessions.

Maybe if I had some starting sentences.... I could pick one and continue from those. But I realize that therapy is such an individual process, no one could exactly tell me what I should want to talk about. I’m just lost at this point.
It seems like it could be helpful just to talk about how hard it is to talk.

In my own sessions, sometimes I have something to talk about, sometimes I don't. I am slowly learning that it is better to tell her the things that are going on in my head, even when they don't want to be said. That way we get to deal with what is.
