Things your therapist wishes you told them. 🧵
"This isn't working for me." or "I don't know if this is helping me."
"Can we try a different approach?"
"I don't agree with you."
"I thought about sharing this with you (over email/text) but didn't." or "_________ reminded me of you."
"I feel [embarrassed/weird/ashamed/guilty] for saying/feeling these things."
"I sometimes wish my parent/partner was more like you."
You *can* say things to your therapist. Sharing what's going on with you internally is important for the work you want to do together.
Remember: therapy is a COLLABORATION. Therapist's are not experts in your experience. Honest communication w/ a therapist is good practice for authenticity and honesty in the rest of your life.
