In reply to child abuse - *warning* giving up?, posted by frida on July 7, 2006, at 13:43:28
Hi Frida,
I never cry in therapy. I trust my therapist more than I trust anyone else, but I don't trust her anywhere near 100 percent.
It took me years to admit, in writing, that something had happened to me. She wanted me to read it to her and I wouldn't. She read it out loud to me.
We have an agreement that she will never bring it up. If I bring it up then she'll assume it's okay to talk about it. I haven't brought it up and what she read was over a year ago.
I'm a writer so it's easier for me to put it on paper then say it outloud. There's nothing wrong with you showing your T what you've written or drawn. It's hard when they look at it, I got through it by not looking at her when she read it.
I know what you're going through. I wish I were a blurter who could just let it out, but I'm not. It's a hard thing to to talk or write about, I wish you courage and strength to find whatever it takes to let some of the pain out.
