I've been seeing a therapist for 8 months. I know this is a pretty long time, but naturally it takes me a very long time to build trust with anyone, especially someone I dont even know. My therapist is great though, she's really sweet and patient which makes me feel a bit better. Lately we've been talking about a lot of personal things but I can't get myself to open up to her completely and tell her whats really going on. Today she realized that I was more anxious than usual because I was fidgeting a lot but I told her I was fine. She lets me email her and today after my session I asked again if it's okay with her and she reassured me that its 100% fine to email. So I was thinking of telling her how I really feel in a pretty detailed email before my session next week but I'm scared. So if you guys had this option would you email your therapists and tell them whats going on? Thanks !

Hi! I think that it's a good idea. The important thing is that you let her know that you're struggling. In the email you could also tell her that you often have troubles talking to her, not because you don't like her as a therapist but because it's difficult for you to talk about your issues. Don't be scared, she told you that it's fine if you email her, so she won't mind Good luck
