Even after over 2 years of therapy, I've only just really started to actually talk to my T. In the past I've always just handed him a bunch of stuff I've written and he's spent the session talking about it. Trusting and opening are very hard for me.
**OH MAN you sound just like me. Took me a long time to sort of trust my T. I think I must drive her crazy with my pepetual need for reassurance that she don't hate me or isn't dsgusted at me for something I said.
Yeah, trust. Its HUGE.

> And even when I do open up here, I really kick myself afterwards for being too open and too revealing and giving too much away.**Well, why is it that you feel that way? Is it because of the potential risk of the internet and privacy (and it IS a real potential threat), or is it that you think we might think badly of you? I dunno?

> This post was very hard for me to write, but I really didn't want to ignore the two of you. I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate what you both said.**Well thank you. That was very nice and I do appreciate it :-)
But have you noticed that you have spoken your mind and we don't mind!
Thats how we get to know each other.
And you seem to be really nice. And if its not hurtful for you to babble, then I hope you can continue to babble away to us as you are able!
Oh yeah, your written stuff, does he read it aloud? My T used to try and get me to, but now she just does it. It used to be SO hard hearing her readf my words aloud cuz it seemed to bring them to life. Ugh. But I'm used to it now.
And do you hand your writings TO your T in person!!! Agggh! I STILL can't do it. I fax them. Then once its gone its too late. I have tried taking my writings with me, but I just can't give them to her. She'll even ask, but I just CAN'T. Talk about silly eh?!
OH well, we all go our ways I suppose.
Take care LIttlone,
Nice to see you post :-)
