✅ It’s really OK to do this to your therapist
“In therapy it often takes 10-20 sessions before the client feels safe enough to share some of their most emotionally difficult experiences” - Dr. Bruce D. Perry co-author of “What Happened To You? Conversations on trauma, resilience, and healing” with Oprah Winfrey
As mental health therapists we know it takes time create and feel emotional safety and security in relationships- even therapeutic ones. We expect you to take your time opening up in your own way at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
