"but then I'll be hurt!"

The one my T gives me funny looks about is "I might fall apart." After she raises her eyebrows at me, she asks me what I think "falling apart" looks like. I have lived my whole life not letting people know that I have feelings and emotions because I think I'm supposed to be the strong one. It's ok for other people to "fall apart" in front of me, but I can't do it in front of others. It takes a lot of energy to avoid showing my insides to other people.

My T is working hard at letting me see that she is a safe person to fall apart in front of. I'm getting there slowly but surely. Maybe one day it will click in my stubborn head.
