i'm not reluctant to admit that i have problems, and i'm not really shy, either, at least outside of therapy. in sessions, though, it's another story. i blush at the drop of a hat and barely speak ten words a sessoin. i think part of the problem is the age gap between my T and me (he's probably in his early 40s). if i had a T who was, say, in his 20s, i wouldn't feel like i had to censor myself so much. once, i told him that there are more things that concern me than just classes and adjusting back to school; that i'm in college after all. his response was strange: "so i take it you're, uh... socially active." i felt really self-conscious because it sounded to me like he was replacing one 's" word that usually precedes the word active with another. it made me feel like he wouldn't be comfortable talking to me about sex, and i didn't want to shock or disgust him in any way.
you'll have to give me hints on how to become a perfect therapy client, too! :)
