I had a very unpleasant session today. Most of it was the therapist telling me everything is my fault, I am the problem, and I am not a real person. When there was an opportunity for a bit of a distraction, I seized it. She was trying to gather information about the history of one of the imposters. That would have been fine, except I ended up telling her too much, I think. I am worried it will occur to her that I know too much to have been an entirely uninvolved party. I thought it was fine to share at the time, because we weren't talking about me, but she's always turning things around on me and asking tricky questions.

I'm going out of my mind a little bit when I think back to what I shared. I don't like it one bit that she has this information. What do you do when you overshare with a therapist?

When I overshare with the therapist I shut up, clamp up, deflect, dissociate, deny, avoid and pretend nothing ever happened!
What do you do?

You can't take it back, but you can tell your T that you'd like to not discuss the topic the next time it comes up. You are not required to talk about things, even if you've already talked about them before.

When I overshare with a T I end up being really quiet the next session and totally obsess in my head in between. Usually then I end up saying that I felt vulnerable after talking about x, y, z and that I'm afraid I said too much. Then we would talk about that and how it feels and usually then I feel better.

Change topic.
