Breathe. You can do this. Talking about the icky stuff (or the skeletons in our closet) is really hard... but maybe it will feel better afterwards, to get things off your chest? The anxiety and anticipating what will happen during session really sucks though.

I'm glad you feel safe with him, and I hope he takes it slowly at your pace. If you think he's pushing too much too quickly, you can actually tell him to slow down.

I don't want to face stuff that's happened to me in the past either if it's any consolation.

Huge hugs, good thoughts and all that. If you need someone to talk to, PM me okay?
