Hi @Akinna
Just wanted to check in on how you were doing. I think brain dumps on the forums are fine and even encouraged especially if it makes you feel better and it continues to warm you up to talking about your experiences more openly with your therapist.
Also, it's really great that you are aware of the things you are experiencing, and your habits. Being knowledgeable about that and recognizing those things are really important and often it's a difficult step for some people. As you said, doing things more practically and applying some healthy coping strategies would be the next goal.
When you say that you freeze up during your sessions, do you know what triggers this for you, and has your therapist worked on anything else with you that can help you communicate without feeling the pressure?
Also, how have you been feeling about writing those emails that you mentioned before?
