Feel free to tell me how TOTALLY wrong I am but I get the feeling that you may be guarded with T because you feel like you have to be entertaining to be worthwhile. Like if you're serious/vulnerable it would be too painful or you wouldn't be taken seriously anyway. I don't know. I sincerely apologize if I'm being a busybody. My intentions are good.

im absorbing the above comment....I think you may be on the right track there....interesting.....the more I read it the more I realize you may have hit on something....men cant be vulnerable....it s easy for a woman to walk into therapy and cry and spill their guts...but for men its different.... |

It is not easy for me to be vulnerable. It is not easy for me to walk into therapy and cry and spill my guts. Make just take baby steps, Brian. Maybe you could just spill a little at a time and gain reassurance from your T that it is OK to be vulnerable. You seem to have a strong desire to heal and persevere with therapy. I think that desire is a key piece of the puzzle. Keep trying. Ask your T for help.

 you have something to think about - peeling back the layers or taking off the mask, however you view it ... and talking about the things that have to change! when you can get there, you have taken the step to recovering. peace and love, night
