hi..
Thank you for your reply.I understand how painful it is...the same happens to me..when I'm on my way to T I feel this urgency and I know all I want to tell her,and the things I want to talk about...when I sit there, I just can't make myself talk openly. It's not only about hard stuff, I have the words in my mind and then I can't say anything. I leave and feel really bad for missing another chance.
Another thing that has helped a little was to at least try to tell her when it's happening...I try to tell her that "I am stuck inside" somehow. It has helped..not to feel so alone, and she tries to make me feel safer or at least she is aware..
I sometimes call her right after session because it's so painful not to be able to talk.Writing has definitely help at least a little...
and I keep trying...I try to make the effort somehow,to make myself say at least one word...it's hard, but don't give up...
baby steps I guess.I think the idea of bringing your yearbook is a good way to start sharing something...
I also sometimes bring in a note...and then I force myself to give it to her, it helps me to make sure she'll know what's in my mind if I can't say a word, and then it makes it easier to continue.
sending you support through this,
Frida
