It's always been disappointing to me that noone has ever really bothered to look deeper or ask more questions. If you can't tell her that you aren't doing well... can you tell her that sometimes you can't seem to express yourself and you need her to probe a little deeper? That's what I am going to ask my new T to do.. I just can't break through my own barriers to reach out.

>I always hate that too. It always seems to reduce who I am to what I do. And it generally makes me feel like I need to "do" badly to be heard. I think my therapist tries really hard not to paint me in that corner.
