Bring you to therapy? Your therapist isn't allowed to tell your grandmother anything.

And you are not obligated to talk about what goes on while in the car with her. No worries! Do this for your well-being, and chatter about nature or traffic or music the whole ride!

Oh this is a totally different subject. DD1 HATES when I ask to speak to her T, usually to give a heads up about a new symptom or something I've asked her to speak with her T about. She told me frankly "this is mine, not yours, you have your own T so don't try to get involved in mine." It really hurt my feelings but she was right. Without an expectation of privacy, how could she unburden herself?
I'm sorry I misunderstood. So is this "family therapy" or does T just need to go over paperwork with your grandmother? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk |

It isn't family therapy. It's just for me. But my Mom usually tells what's going on,& then I'll talk to her.

So your grandmother isn't going to know what to say to T. What if she just waits in the waiting room? You can go in alone and say "this is the part where my mom tells you I didn't sleep well 3 nights this week, and we had a huge argument over homework," or something like that? Do you spend time alone with T or is mom always in with you?

Well, in that case, you're not in new territory. You feel safe with T when your mom begins the session, are you worried you won't know what to say or how to talk without mom there?

Ok deep breath. My t usually asks me how things have been since the last time we met. I usually have made progress on 1 area and had at least one setback. That usually takes us to about 30 minutes. Then it's time for guided imagery relaxation and go-home-o'clock.
What's the scariest part of telling t about your depression? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk |

Ok you don't have to tell me, just have it in your mind. You could be honest, "I'm scared to talk to you about something, but I really want to get it out." T will reassure you that you can go slow and you don't have to quickly dump it if it's scary, and maybe will ask you some leading questions.
Don't be ashamed of being depressed! We are holding your hands, okay? We've been there as well, so not just saying that. You need us, reach out, okay? Hugs!!! Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk |
