Re: Is it me?

This is very true. I am matter of fact about what happened to me. I went to a therapist to seek some help, so intellectually I know that unless I open up she cannot help.

That having been said, I must make the distinction between what has happened vs. the way I feel about it. I have spent the better part of my life burying my feelings, supressing my emotions--in general, and separating my emotions from my dealings with other people. I empathize with what you are saying.

One thing that maybe no one has mentioned that helped me...under the surface is it possible you are not comfortable with the gender of your therapist? I could not discuss my experiences and feelings with another man, but find it much easier to do so with a female therapist. Don't ask me why, but it helped......hang in there.
