I've been advised by my psychiatrist to talk to a therapist which I am. Before that though, I originally was sent to a psychiatrist for anxiety and they then told me I showed signs of major depression. I'm at a loss as to how to talk to the therapist. I think she's easy to talk to but I just can't open up, and that is one of my problems. she has asked what I want to talk about that day, and I say "I don't know". Am I supposed to talk about one specific problem or just generalized talking? I do have a few problems that I've held grudges against my father for ignoring me when I had an accident and how he treated my mother with her illness, but those were many many years ago, could they actually be causing me a problem now. I feel kinda foolish bringing them up as I feel that's long in my past. I'm just truly at a loss with how to talk to my therapist. Any help?
