I know you will hear this a 1000 times, but here is 1001 - there really is nothing to be embarrassed about. Would you feel embarrassed to go to the dentist if you had an abcessed tooth? Would you feel embarrassed to go to the ER with a broken arm?
I think you would feel differently if you knew how much you had just helped your T to help you.
You see, as a part of the therapy process I think they need to see us when we are together, but most importantly, they need to see us when we come apart. This helps them to identify what triggers us, and helps them to provide insight to help us understand it and manage it.
What I would do would be to go to therapy and talk about how embarrassed you feel, I suspect your therapist would be very interested in that.
In any case, I'm glad you seem to be pulling through and that your therapy has been helpful.
Drop in over at the psych board sometime, it has tons of good therapy info.Welcome to babble.
