Worthwhile topic?

I'm new to therapy and I'm not sure what's worth talking about and what isn't. My T wants me to start learning how to process my emotions. He wants me to pick an event that I found sad or confusing from my past to talk about. Starting out with something small before getting to the abuse. The first thing that came to mind was being told as a kid that I didn't have a life because I spent too much time with my family and didn't have friends. I thought then that I was breathing so that should count as having a life.

What do you guys think? Is this a good place to start or am I missing the point?

Very good place to start. It sounds like something that was upsetting and hurtful but likely still very manageable and not completely overwhelming to talk about.

Great place to start! Your T sounds good too!

seems like a good thing to talk about I hope it goes well

Thank you. That eases my mind. I was nervous about starting with that. In my head it seems really silly to bring up and not worth discussing.

He's great! Very patient and steady.

I love that story. I love how it shows the way your mind works.

Thanks. Yeah I'm very literal
