This is my first thread on here .::anxiety::.

I've been in therapy with my current T for about 2 years now. Last summer, after a traumatic inpatient experience, our relationship drastically changed. Once I got back I was so open and trusting because I was so elated to be back with a T that I knew, but then a series of communication errors caused the walls to go up and I lost a part of that connection. I've tried to bring it up a few times but it's been unsuccessful, mostly because it's awkward and I don't know how to identify what specifically went wrong.

I've been spiraling out recently and I'm having a hard time getting the support I need without that strong communication and trust we once had. Friday, I broke down and dropped a last minute bomb telling her that we needed to talk about therapy and the therapy relationship. I know this is good and important because it will help with communication but now I'm terrified to go in Tuesday and unsure of what to say.

Have any of you ever had this, or a similar conversation with your T?
