> --I may share parts of it. The thing is, I've given her so much writing up to this point that I think it's losing its effectiveness. I know if I SAID half of what I wrote it would get across to her a lot better, I think. But I just don't know how.
I always feel like I'm missing out on so much by not talking. That just the act of telling someone your stories must be so much more therapeutic that writing out your stories. That it's the act of talking that makes therapy work and by not doing this part of it I'll never get better, no matter how clever and insightful my T is.
This is to all the non-talkers in babbleland. Do you ever read what you've written out loud to your T? I'd read about doing that here on babble and kind of brought it up with my T. But he was worried that by knowing I'd have to read the stuff out loud, I would really edit my writing and tone it down and leave out the major parts. I guess he thought it was more important to keep up the deeper communication than to risk it in an attempt to talk. Just wondering if others have tried it, did it work, did it limit what you wrote, etc.
