I think the first step would be to help your therapist decipher the code.
I've been seeing her for more than three years and the first two and a half years I hardly said anything. She was making a great effort and I'm grateful she stayed with me. She seems to be talking much more than I do making comments and associations from what I write to her. I write less now, only two, three short paragraphs so there's more time to discuss when I can. I feel I'm much more open to people now than before when I didn't talk at all but still not with men as I feel too horrible and fat because of the medication I've been taking (I know the problem lies elsewhere.)
It's really nice that your therapist reads your stuff but once you feel more comfortable why don't you help him a little, by making them a bit more comprehensible? I use a lot of parentheses for that to explain my points. I know that everybody's advice is to read what we write but that seems to be a long way along the line.
I did write to her about my suicidal thoughts but discussed it no further.
All the best and thanks for the reply.
