I'm really glad it's getting easier and more comfortable for you. :) That's terrific progress on both of your parts. Even being able to admit that you're feeling horrid is progress.
I don't know that it's bravery so much as that... Hmmmm.... There is an enormous payoff in allowing yourself to be vulnerable with a person (ok, I'll be blunt here) you pay to be trustworthy. It feels really good when you've lept the hurdles and made your way to being open and vulnerable and accepted.
I mean the cognitive stuff is good, and fine, and useful. But it is really way more satisfying when you invest yourself by going as deep as you can possibly go.
Eeek. I'm an emotional junkie. A therapy addict. :) But it does keep me relatively stable and productive.
