I am worried about going to therapy, I have never really asked for help before so when I text my T last week I shocked myself, she did call me a couple of days later, I feel embarrassed now about going back knowing that I asked her for help.
When she called me I kind of said "everything is ok now" but she knew it wasn't . I then told her a little bit about what had happened and she then gave me advice, I feel like I have made a fool of myself, she said we will talk about this in therapy next time. |

(((Tink))) I know you are feeling foolish and embarrassed ... but what you did in reaching out to your T, that was a good thing, a brave thing. Something that really you can be proud of in a way
 Please go and talk to her more about what is going on and what you've been feeling, this is important stuff ... you are important

Oh, I SO get this.....
I too have great difficulty in reaching out to T - or anyone for that matter - as I hate to be perceived as needy and weak....Even though I've been told time and time again that everyone has needs and that it's not weak or pathetic to ask for help. And it's actually an accomplishment to do it, when it can be done in a direct and healthy way. Yet, I still have trouble with it....

I've learned that to be needy and weak with T is perfectly safe.

I think asking for help can make a person stronger. In my experience, I didn't ask for help for a long time... and all I did was get weaker and weaker.
Asking for help takes strength.

It's really difficult to be vulnerable and acknowledge that we need help sometimes. This isn't something to be embarrassed about. It does take courage to step out and ask for help when you need it. It shows that you are willing to trust the person you're asking and what better person to ask than your T?
