yeah, i've already given her some writing and i've left a lot of voicemails, and well, she knows a whole lot.
she told me she thinks i'm comfortable with talkign to her indirectly, which she is okay with, but she wants me to be able to transition into talking during therapy, b/c she says that's where she can help me.
she called today and i'm actually meeting with her tomorrow again. i hope it will go okay.
> I agree with your therapist - you do seem to be in a lot of pain...I am not qualified to judge, but it seems so from your posts. But it doesn't mean that you will always be this way.

> Acknowledging being in pain is one of the first steps you can take towards getting rid of it.
> When you feel you are not able to talk in therapy, will it help you if you write down a few points that you want to talk about in therapy that day before hand, and give it to your therapist first? Then she can start asking you some questions about the points that you wrote and you might be able to open up and strike a conversation.
