I left my therapist last December and returned to restart my therapy today. I can't explain to her my fears and lack of trust because honestly there was not a reason. Basically with my illness I find it hard to open up to others, to share myself with others, to be myself with others and just talk in general. My son will be moving home with me in December and I know I need the support of a therapist so I got started ahead of time to lock in that system. Sorry this is such scattered thinking, it's not easy starting a new website and opening up. (oh shucks, there goes that lack of trust thing LOL)

The first session is so hard......it takes time to build trust and confidence. Good for you for taking the first step. Go easy on yourself and remember that healing and progress takes time.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( darkness ))))))))))))))))))))))))) Welcome to PC!

Yeah, the opening up and trusting is incredibly hard. Good for you for looking ahead and knowing that you'll need a therapist in place when your son comes home. Be gentle with you, the trust will come. It did for me....SLOWLY, oh so slowly. But you will get there.

Sure there is a reason you just don't understand it yet. The only way to understand it is to get it outside of yourself where you can discuss it and see it. When you are ready just tell her that you are afraid and you don't trust. Hopefully the discussion and examination will flow from there.....

Hi Darkness,

I think you're courageous to go back and get help. I've only just started posting on this forum and have wanted to start a thread for quite a while but haven't plucked up the nerves to do so (yet) - so good for you for being able to do so!

I hope your move goes well and that you can begin to connect with your therapist again and she will be able to support you through the move.

Greetings,
Onzichtbaar
