I have been in therapy six years. Weekly appointments for six years.

And I'm not that brave at all, I just got to the point where I could not hold all of it in and live anymore, so I just made a decision to trust my therapist and let him in on my private little world of hell.

If he terminated me, if he had sex with me right then and there, if he laughed in my face it didn't matter - I was going to make that step.

He didn't let me fall, he sat right in his chair and he listened, then he told me that he absolutely understood and gradually (I mean gradually) he helped me to understand why I felt that way and why it was okay to be sad, mad, peevish, whiney, spiteful and just ignorant.

Maybe you could make the decision to let your therapist in as well. Impress upon them how important it is that they try to understand.

I bet you will be amazed at the difference being understood can make.
