Therapy is one of the few places where you should be able to say the thing you almost didn’t say.
You do not have to show up perfectly, have everything figured out, or make progress in a straight line. Your therapist has probably heard more than you think, and the goal is not to judge your choices. It is to understand what is happening, what keeps coming up, and what might help.
Sometimes the most useful part of therapy starts with being honest about the thing you feel embarrassed, frustrated, or disappointed about.
If you’ve been holding something back in therapy, this may be your reminder that you can bring it into the room.
