LT, I really feel that risk taking is a big deal for you-- and something that may hold a key to greater happiness. Risk taking is similar to what you already do well-- which is tell the truth in therapy. Maybe risk taking is the behavioral analogy to speaking truth. But I think it's great. I think you should do more of it. IME in relationships, including therapy, risk taking carries big payoffs and little knock downs. A balance I can live with.
