> I just lost what I wrote to you ... that's so frustrating!!
*Grrrr!
> Anyway, of course try to say something. Even if it seems trivial to you, productive work can be accomplished. Big issues will seep into therapy, and a skilled therapist will be able to help you discuss those thoughts too. It just takes time.
*Time is money unfortunately.
> When you are quiet, does he/she help you by asking questions? Sometimes my T will help me if I seem to be stuck, others, she'll let me be quiet for awhile and see what comes up.
*When I'm quiet, I feel like she's looking at me and I feel like my heads going to pop off or something. I am now able to blurt that I don't like to be looked at(if she even is, I don't know)Fortunately my T is a good talker and fills in the gaps.
> It would be perfect if they could read our minds, but they really can't. And the amazing thing is, our therapists will listen to whatever we say and help us. For me, that is so healing. I can tell her something that I dread, I feel so ashamed, and her reply is always soothing. It's a good feeling.
*WHOAH! That last piece I'm going to write down and read b-4 I go in. It sounds so nice. Soothing, thats nice. I tend to freeze up. I feel like an idiot. I don't want to look stupid. Stupid eh? I'm getting alot frustrated. I don't want to go back into the pit though, and I got my kids to think of, and so I keep trying.
Thanks for the reply.
