I totally chickened out!!!
 

I totally chickened out today, I was going to tell my therapist that I really wanted to stop my cutting and I NEEDED HELP WITH IT BUT LIKE always I couldn't get the words out. I have been seeing my therapist for 6 months now and I still find it hard to talk to her asnd tell her how I feel. I feel comfortable around her and she really nice but when I GET TO MY SESSION I clam up and get scared how can I get better and feel normal again if I can't get the words out . god I hope this problem leaves me soon I don't know how long I can take this problem....:sad:

How would you feel about writting her a letter? that way you can say everything you need to say without actully saying it. A lot of people like writting things that they need to say to thier therapist, it means you cant clam up either, if you think yuo wont give it to them in a session then post it to them.

Im glad you are asking for help, and i hope that you get the help you need and deserve.

I'm not much of a talker either when i go to therapy... havent been for a while, but when i have gone, she suggested i could write letters to her. As much as you want to tell her and you prepare what youre going to say in your head, when it comes to the time to tell them, its really hard!

*hugs* hope you can work out a way that suits you best to communicate your situation with her.

Perhaps you could write it down and hand it to your therapist... Then you wouldn't have to worry about the communication...

It can be hard to tell someone about their SI... it was hard for me... but once they know it will be so much easier for them to help you...

Also they might already guessed you do but are waitng for you too tell them...

Good Luck!
