In reply to Dunno what I should say?, posted by muffled on September 8, 2005, at 15:48:36
When you are quiet in the room, try to share the thoughts that are popping up in your mind, even if it's:
Golly, I wish she would say something.
Seems pretty hot in here today.
I hate when the T just looks at me. What is she thinking?
Should I just run out of here?
You'd be surprise how sharing these seemingly innocent comments can lead to an entire therapy session that can end up being quite productive. I think a lot of us struggle with what to say at different times in our work.
I'm not saying it isn't painful, because it can be, and usually is. My T always reminds me that my brain knows why I'm here, so share those thoughts.
