Do you tell your therapist everything?

I tell him whatever comes to mind in session. I figure if it comes to mind there, it could have unconscious relevance that probably does not show an immediate connection, but that is no reason for me to stifle myself (I usually need a pretty darn good reason ie a really big stick! for me to stifle myself!). And things usually do connect, a few twists and turns down the road. Our brains dont necessarily remember things in an obviously logical pattern. Thats why computers arent human yet

my former T and current T I am really open about or try to be. I am trying to learn trust and vulnerability which is hard. I do journal every week and we exchange the journals weekly so what I would be too embarrassed to talk about in person normally comes out there, it helps her to learn me and why I do/think the way I do. Some things I wouldn't think relevant or even see the connection but it is usually through those moments an "aha moment"happens. Now she has brought up issues (sex, adult store shopping, if I am present during sex) and I thought I was going to absolutely die, I went home and got drunk. But afterwards I saw the connection and it actually opened my eyes to things I didn't even realize. But I trust her completely. My other therapist however, I am required to see her but she knows very little about me, there is little trust or.connection there so I guess it depends on the person and level.of trust and issues at hand

Definately not everything. You can never trust someone completely. If you do, you are just setting yourself up for a world of pain.

Yes, in the past I have. It built a lot of trust between us. After our recent rupture, I don't know what's going to happen moving forward.

Nope, not everything at all. I'm trying to but it's hard as I have massive trust issues.
I'm also very ashamed about a lot of stuff and I always assume that people will judge me/hate me as soon as they know the real me. Which often happens.

My therapist has also hurt me in the past, not intentionally but she has.
I don't want to put myself through that again even though I know that for therapy to be successful I have to be honest.

What stopdog said. There are things that I haven't talked to her yet that may be relevant to therapy, but as I only see her monthly it's more a matter of prioritizing my time.

No. It is not necessary or ideal to tell them everything. Giving someone sensitive information usually only ends up hurting you in the end.

No I don't tell my therapist everything.
