> i appreciated everyone sharing. maybe the T can break out the crayons on Monday and we can not verbalize for awhile.
>This sounds quite wonderful actually! Maybe you need to build trust, access your emotions, just be in your T's presence before you can talk. It's OK. If you feel an urge to speak but can't, could you ask your T to ask you specific questions so that you can get your story out a word or a phrase out at a time? Sometimes my T will say standard things like, "Can you say more about that?" and I'll ask him to ask specifics. It sometimes gets the ball rolling.
Good luck!
