I've spent about 5 weeks not being able to talk in group therapy, and finally started talking about what it was like at home this past week. It felt really good to finally talk, even to just say a little something!

When folks pointed out how long it'd been, I decided I'd try to talk online and see if that helped me be more ready to talk when I was in group.

I know it's hard, but it really helped me to not be so hard on myself and just wait until I felt like I could do it. They were all really supportive, and they're not even all Ts! (of course.) Maybe some of this would help for you?
