I'm in therapy and to be honest I'm getting extremely angry. Not at my therapist, but at myself. I can't for the life of me speak to her about anything because of how afraid I get and uncomfortable. Now were on a really sensitive topic and she wants me to talk about it with her so we can sort of move past why I feel a certain way but to be honest I just dont want to. I can handle the topic on my own, I can try to understand why I feel the way I do on my own. She's helped a lot in other areas but this specific one I want to do on my own. I dont know how to word it in an email though because she is 100% okay with me sending her emails and actually encourages it.
Any ideas?? |

AnxiousGirl, I can understand how you feel. The therapy is for you, not her. If you really feel that you want to handle this issue on your own, just tell her. She may be wanting you to talk about it but you may not either be ready or it may not be a subject for therapy. I have to pick and choose my topics as I am in the driver's seat when it comes to my well-being. I am kind of interested more in why you feel that this issue is making you angry. Or is it that you are not feeling able to say that you don't want to talk about it? It is kind of weird, but the reason that you don't want to talk about it and that you are angry at yourself are subjects all to themselves. Just food for thought.

There are things I will never speak to my Therapist about and she knows it and just tells me when or if I am ever ready to discuss it she is there. She doesn't push me too much and I made it clear there were some things I just would rather not discuss. Mine is not so much because I don't want to but I did a lot of things in my past and some were not so acceptable I guess I could say and I would just rather not talk about it and she is good with that and I am sure if you just tell your therapist how you are feeling she will understand. Ultimately the therapy is there for you and to help you and if you don't want to discuss something you don't have to.
