I get this sense that I’m not doing therapy right. Before each session I think I’m really going to be open and learn how to make changes, and then I get there and..........nothing comes out. I can tell it’s me. I trust you as much as I think is appropriate for the relationship, but it’s like everything just gets stopped up. I sit down and immediately feel defensive and argumentative. I don’t know why I flatly refuse to answer certain types of questions—I understand why you’re asking and I appreciate your intent—and the fact that I’m acting like an imbecile by refusing is not lost on me. Despite what my behavior suggests, I genuinely want your help. I just seem to not know how to engage in the process. I fear you will give up before I figure it out.
