Daisy,
I may way off base, keep in mind that I still barely tell my therapist anything about what I refer to as *certain issues.* If I don't think about it, it'll go away, right? I know, wrong, but I'm not ready to open that window, but maybe you are?
To me, it's like a part of you knows you have to let this stuff go out that window (like a window of opportunity) or it might slam shut and you won't get it open again.
Try to think of your therapist as proping that window open. He won't let go. He'll hold it open as long as you need him, too. He won't let it slam shut and hurt you or make you do anything other than trust him to keep his support.
My therapist keeps telling me that I didn't get support for the things that hurt me when I was a child so I am afraid of it now. It's why I'm so afraid to let her get close to me.
