Things that you were initially able to talk about you no longer are as therapy progressed? What did you do about it?

I can't remember anything specific...

I recall that at one point I realised I was using Madame T as a punching bag and I decided that was not OK.

Hmmm...no, this has not been my experience. I have felt more open and able to talk about harder and more difficult topics, with my current T. I have found that there are many things that I no longer have a desire to discuss as I feel it is unnecessary and that they have been resolved.
Thanks for this!

I experienced some of this. I think as the relationship grew deeper, in some ways, it felt like there was more at stake. More to lose. And the feeling of being overly exposed as a reaction to revealing so much leading to a need to pull back. It didn't undermine the work, but it did change the feel of it. I'm not sure it's a bad thing. It may have been the initial need to give it all over to someone else to fix gives way to a more realistic sense of the difficulty of the process.

No, I have found the opposite to be true. Now there are mnay things we once discussed in great detail that just aren't important anymore so they don't come up, but once I've spoken to him about somethins, I have no qualms about discussing it again if need be.

Yeah I have not desire to talk about my bulimic behaviors anymore. It has been 6 months T2 and I am done letting know about episodes since there is nothing he can do about it.

My experience has been similar to FKM's. As the relationship progressed, some things became more difficult to discuss because I had more to lose, more at stake. If he rejects me now because of things I have done or felt or said, it would be traumatic. Before I cared about him, it would be relatively easy to walk away if he was horrified by me.
