Hey y'all! =)

I have this problem in therapy that I want help but I just can't talk about the things I want and need to talk about. I recently started with a new T and he seems very nice and caring and all, but at the same time something feels a bit off? Like we are not talking about the same thing and he seems to focus on things that I don't want help with.

And then I realised... of course I have this feeling of miscommunication - since I don't speak up about the things that really bothers me! Of course he tries to make up a plan on helping me with the things I have said is my problem. I haven't given him my whole story.

But the problem is that some things are just too shameful. There are somethings from my childhood that I have never talked to anyone about, and also some things in my life right now that I just feel so ashamed of. Like it just feels so impossible to bring it up.

I understand I'm not the only one feeling this way but I just don't understand how anyone can overcome the shame of talking about some things?
