Dear fallsfall,
Thank you so much for your support and understanding through this...it meant a lot and it helped me try to take a little risk with my therapist..I do feel so relieved that she's going to work with me if I open up..I will try somehow not to give in to fear and shame and silence..
I am glad that you feel that safety with your therapist and can open your heart knowing you're safe...
Thank you so much for sharing with me.
I really feel it will be like learning to talk, because I never could talk about feelings or show feelings..but I will try to trust her..if i don't I might lose her so I will try..
Thank you again..
I am glad to have found this place :-)
lots of support,
Adia.> Adia,

> That sounds like a wonderful session. It will be very hard for you to be as open as you need to be, but I can tell that you are determined to try your hardest. And your therapist really wants the best for you. She wants to help you, and right now helping you means getting you to open up. Sometimes when I am afraid of talking, knowing that my therapist really does want to help and really is looking out for my best interests gives me a little more courage to take the risk and tell the truth. It is often scary, but when I do take a risk I find that my therapist understands how hard it was, and how important what I said was, and they keep me safe.
