In reply to silence, posted by lonelygal2 on February 23, 2005, at 18:40:35
I hate sitting in silence. The few times I've done it for more than a few minutes have ended badly for me. I spiral down...but, I guess the silence did allow me to move past (or dig under) that block because the silence was so much worse than talking about stuff. When I am really struggling, I now say "help me" or I will warn my therapist to not let me sit in silence and float away if I'm onto a hard topic (and they are all hard).
I think your therapist of all people, should see your pain. Isn't that why you are going? Let her in a little, try to share. It is hard but it will help. I find writing helps me a lot. If nothing else, I can read what I've written and we go from there.
I hope it gets better for you soon.
