I can relate to what you are saying! It is scary to trust a stranger with your "stuff": will they understand me? will they appreciate my "stuff"? will I be hurt yet again?
AND it is difficult to delve into your issues, much less with the pressure of trusting a stranger! What I have found is that if I trust MYSELF to set the pace, ask my therapist every question that comes up (why am I feeling this way/what do you mean when you say xxx), 99% of the time I come away with a more positive feeling; relief, gladness, calm, gratefulness.
It isn't easy, but I know you can do it, and your therapist will help you.
Keep us posted!
