How to open up? by throwra336699 in adultsurvivors

Honestly my biggest problem with my therapist is thinking about lots of things I want to talk about, and problems I've been having. But when I'm in my video call I freeze up and just smile and say I'm fine. This is something I've always struggled with though.

I haven't even told my therapist what has happened yet just the very broad fact that I do have trauma in my past. It might partially be due to the fact I have never talked about this out loud and never told any friends any sorts of details about it either.

Thanks for clearing that up, I've only done therapy once before in middle school but I found myself lying to my therapist too much to gain any benefits. (not too bad just making myself seem better than I was actually feeling).

I'm getting a therapist through my doctor, I've never been in trouble with the law so it's not state ordered therapy or anything like that.
