In reply to How do you *do* therapy?, posted by shrinking violet on September 2, 2004, at 23:17:42
Hi Shrinking Violet,
I've been in therapy for two years and still have trouble opening up to her. I am not what my therapist calls a blurter. She's very patient and doesn't push me.
I don't know how your therapist starts each session out, but mine asks how was your week? I used to say okay or some other one word answer. Now, I'm more honest- I'll tell her what I've been feeling emotionally.
For me progress is slow, but if she pushed me to blurt, I'd have ran long ago.
