Today, I deliberately didn't tell my therapist half of what I was going through because I didn't want to depress her. FML

I'm the OP. I posted this after my last session with my therapist--I'd realized that this particular person wasn't working for me because I didn't really connect with her to an extent where I'd be able to tell her all my problems. This is the first time I'm seeking therapy, and from what people have said, it sometimes takes a while to find someone you are truly comfortable with. Just to be clear--I don't think that my particular problems are at all special, and they aren't even that bad when compared with half the shit people I know go through. It was just getting to the point where I was deliberately excluding things that had happened to me/that I felt because I considered them too "pathetic" to share. You can probably guess that one of my problems is that I care way too much about how other people perceive me.

I've done that before, OP. at some point you gotta talk, or find a therapist you can open up to.

Let's face it, he/she's probably heard things which are a lot more depressing.

if you're not comfortable with your therapist you should look into someone else. I'm sorry you're going through rough times. but you HAVE to talk dear....

You really need to tell your therapist everything, otherwise he/she can't do her job properly. And if she can't handle everything you tell her, get another one that can.

They are supposed to avoid emotional contact with your issues. Just spill the beans and let all that go once and for all

Give it time OP. As long as you keep going and keep talking it will come. The worst thing is to stop talking altogether. Trust yourself and your therapist, even if you don't become Sally Sensitive over night; everyone has their own pace.

It might help more if you didn't hold back.

Might have done the opposite and cheered her up instead-- knowing she's not the one personally having all those problems. :P

therapists dont choose their job so they can feel better about themselves, they choose it to help and make a difference
