****i wish i could share my feelings and cry with my t and tell her those things too-****
How long have you been seeing your therapist? If you think she can hold all of this with you, then I say try it, at least a little. It is worth pushing yourself a little to open some of this up. It helped me to tell him there was stuff I wanted to share but wasn't sure how. We worked on that alot, and we still talk about how much I censor. But I'm getting better at letting stuff out. Of course, I see him a lot too. I can't imagine where I would be if he hadn't given me explicit permission to cry, he told me I needed to cry when or if I felt like it and he wanted to see my tears.
I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering. I hope you will share more about how your therapy is going. I always learn so much from other's experiences. Did you tell your partner you had a bad moment? I wish I could agree with you that I was brave, but I can't face telling my husband how I really feel. My therapist keeps telling me (not pushing me) that my husband can't help me in this area if I don't tell him what I'm working on in therapy. I agree...but I just can't. :(
