I agree with Stormy, the response from T's is never as bad as what we envision it to be. Doesn't make it any easier to go to that next appointment though does it. Although I have never told my T that I love her (maybe next year or in my case better give me two more years), but I have come clean on some other feelings that pertained to the therapeutic relationship. Very difficult for someone like me to admit, but I did--in writing. It was really hard to sit in the waiting room and then as the session began, but you get through it.

As for the "here let me lay this on you, but by the way I don't want to talk about it." notion. With my T that doesn't fly. I wrote that line once and the first thing she did when I entered the room was to whip out that dang letter and start reading it. I'm only telling you this because you are likely going to discuss this topic with your T whether you really want to or not. The good news is you will likely survive and be better off for it in the end.

KJ go in with your head held high, because you are taking the risks necessary to get better.

Good luck KJ
