I'm seeing T again tomorrow. I haven't seen her in a while because of stupid stuff that got in the way. But I'm nervous about going. I know she wants me to talk about scary things. That was what she said last time I saw her. I know she is going to push me. (which in reality I need.) But I really just want to hide.

You are not alone! I know I need to get to the tough stuff with my T, but today I got scared and chickened out and talked about fluff instead.
Thanks for this!

I was always "not talking" about what I should be talking about in T. It's frustrating not being able to tackle the hard stuff. I don't think your T will push you too much googley....good luck.

maybe you could change yr avatar. Because although I accept what you say in this post, i see that you have compassion on others who find it tough going. You are sweet and good, Googley, be kind to yourself too.
Thanks for this!

If it's been a while since you've seen her, I wonder if it would help to use this session to reconnect before you start talking about the scary stuff? Or even just to talk about talking about the scary stuff? (seems like that's all T and I do right now).

I know it feels scary and hard. And I know you want to hide. Maybe there is a middle between "hiding" and "scary stuff". Can you be gentle with yourself and let yourself be in the middle place while you reconnect with T?

I will be thinking of you tomorrow
Thanks for this!

Talking about scary things is hard. But it is the way to freedom... Many supportive thoughts your way.
