Thanks David, I appreciate your response. I had the same thought - they can't help me unless I'm honest, which is part of the reason I stopped going. That's a sensible recommendation to start with discussing the perceived need to sugarcoat with them.

Yeah thanks for that David, that approach sounds really helpful. There have definitely been times, especially at the beginning, where I felt like I couldn't completely be honest, but it got easier the more I let my guard down and acknowledged that I wasn't going to get what I needed out of the sessions that I was paying so much for. And yeah definitely feeling what Ape Mummy is saying, just like how I felt with that first woman, that could be an indication that they're not someone who *can* help you, and that you should try finding someone else. I hope you're able to find what you're looking for!
