I may frighten you,

Another thing I am working on with my T is the feeling that I have to "perform." To be accepted. I've had a hard time with that in therapy because I have felt that I need to perform right for her. We finally had that discussion (it was a rough one), so I'm starting to see that is ok to show up to therapy without an agenda and just see where things go. She has a way of getting me to talk about something significant every time.
