Now I’m having doubts about reading my letter to T. I’m embarrassed by it now. He may have already read it because it was sent as an email.

However, I’m worried that if I don’t give him this information now, I may totally miss the opportunity to reveal that deeply personal and painful information.

I’m not sure what to do.

In my opinion, follow through with your plans. You're working so hard to make progress and you are doing a good job. Opening up about past traumas can be really hard, but I have found that it's really cathartic. Some of my best sessions have been opening up about trauma because afterwards, you don't have to carry the secrets alone anymore and you might feel a sense of relief.

It's okay if he's already read it. You still might want to re-read it to him or maybe you could spend the time talking about it. Eother way, I think it's important to keep opening up to him.

I think you should really try to read it but if you can't could you give it to him to read?

I believe that it's important for you to read itself to him yourself. Once you do, I think you'll be relieved and glad.

I will read it to him tomorrow.

I’m so glad tomorrow is session day. It’s been a rough week.

I had to reschedule because the lack of sleep over the past 4 days is causing impairment in functioning and I wasn’t able to drive. I emailed the office to ask if they have any openings in the next 2 days.

I’m so disappointed because I really wanted to talk to T about some big stuff today and now I have to wait.

Something just opened up and they put me down for Friday. I’m so glad that something opened up because I just found out that he will be out of the office next week.

I want to keep it light so I don’t leave with something stirred up.

He will probably want an intense session.
