poet,
i know this struggle but don't know that i have any helpful answers. i think over time it might get easier? i still struggle to eek out stories and i've been in therapy for more than 2 years. like daisy, this wasn't the reason i went to therapy (not that i tought anyway). when talking about it i almost always get sleepy, feel sickish, and am certain i'm some kind of a fraud. i write a lot and notice i abbreviate or try to find nicer words to decsribe things that are not pleasant as a way to ease into it... so it isn't so shocking to me (and maybe my therapist?)i'm curious to know if anyone here feels impossibly gross after therapy... that oh-my-gawd-the-words-out-and-someone-knows kind of dirty?
