Maybe you could say that you want to be able to work with yourself to feel better and therefor you want to tell him about a few things you've noticed about yourself.
I think you should just try to be open and honest and ask questions. This to help you in the process of finding ways to cope better in life.

Keep posting and let us know how it goes, please.
