When I confided in a close friend about the feelings I'd been having (up til now, I'd told nobody--kind of practice for possibly telling my therapist someday, I guess). It was the most tremendous relief, and I realized that what I'd just done for myself was more important than anyone's reaction. I stopped telling myself not to feel what I was feeling, accepted it, and validated it myself by telling someone else.
So I guess what I'm saying is--maybe my therapist will be totally freaked out and rejecting and it'll be terrible, but it's still important for me to do it, for myself.
Um, someday :)
