i look here sometimes and threads don't seem relevant to me. i am not sure what i would discuss, i don't really have a turbulent relationship with my therapist and that seemed to be what people wanted to talk about. (actually i feel like i don't have much relationship with her at all, since i do not know much about her and i am teh one talking most of the time, and talking about me.) i guess i'm not sure what psychological issues to talk about, for me most of the 'correct' psychological ways of doing things are very obvious, mentally; they are just hard to do emotionally. so i guess i use therapy, more as a way of maintaining some social connexion and feedback in the absence of normal socialising, and to have some i guess 'pep talk' for feeling more positive that the behavioral changes will make a positive impact.
i don't think i have any problem with self-revelation; actually its usually the time before taht which is more anxiety provoking, small talk is terrible, and i wonder if others will realize i am not as successful as one might think based on first impression.
i also don't think insensitivity/aggressiveness/confrontational is always bad, even wrt therapy.
