I am going to have a really hard session with my T tomorrow (at 1pm) and i am really scared about it. But i know it has to be done.
Instead of letting her take the lead on what topic we will be discussing (i hve done this in every session for almost 4 years), tomorrow i am going to face my fears and ask her to help me talk about my father (triggering and very scary subject for me).  I would really appreciate some pocket riders please. Feel free to hold my hand too, if you feel able. Thanks

Oh my gosh! I'm having a session like that tomorrow too at 1EST- they've been somewhat few and far between, and yes, painfully difficult. I feel exactly the same way, "it has to be done." I'll be there in spirit, sending you healing, brave thoughts. Good for you for taking the initiative!!!

I hope that your T sees the full weight of what you're about to share and that you two deepen your connection and that you feel a relief and some healing, even if it's just a tiny bit. If you feel up to it, you can post how it goes and I'll check back. You can do it. You deserve healing and caring.

What is a pocket rider?

I'm in too (((((((((())))))))))))))))))))
Please don't put too much pressure on yourself, you don't have to share it all at once. You can take baby steps, or a giant leap, whatever flows naturally. Let t help and support you. Maybe you can just open the door wide enough for T to see what's behind it and you can take it from there the next time. Whatever happens, we will be thinking of you. Let us know what happens.
