writing for my counsellor

[pixiedust]

Um hi,

I had one of the hardest sessions with my counsellor today and she wants me to write about the stuff I can't talk about and give it to her next week. I've never talked to anyone about it properly before, only written on here. She wants me to write down all my feelings about cancer and my memories and fears. I don't know how I'm supposed to do this. It's all so hard and I can't do it without crying or getting worked up. I guess I'm just asking for some advice on how I could write it and for some support as well. I'm really scared about letting someone in for the first time but I think it's something I've got to do.

Writing about such things are obviously hard, but it's important to remember that it is something that you have to do (as you've said), and that it's set to help you in the "long run".
I would suggest possibly writing them as a story - it really depends on your preference; you could even do it through a series of poems if you so wished - whatever you're most comfortable with.
I know it's hard now, hun, but just remember that it's all in the past and things will get better.

Good luck and stay strong,

I would say just write what you feel. I know it's hard and upsetting but it's good to get thigns out of your system as well. Good luck with it.
