Hey Vicky!!!
I know how hard it is to let your guard down and tell a complete stranger about your problems and all that goes on inside of you!! When I first started, therapy, I was so hesitant to share my thoughts/ideas/and feelings with anyone because I felt they would all laugh at me or look at me like I was weird or ceritfy me looney. Plus, with some doctors, it does seem like it all goes over their heads. I know how you feel.
I don't know how I exactly got over this fear. I think what I did was tell a little bit more each session, and once I got to trusting the therapist, I just poured it all out. Sometimes it is easier to look at the floor or somewhere else when you are talking about things that may upset you. In therapy, I almost always look away from my therapist when I am telling her things. That may help you also. I'm not sure if this technique is helpful for everyone though.
Another thing that I have read on this site which I thought would be helpful to you is why not write down all of the feelings you have and write down everything you want to say to the therapist? That way, you can either read it to him/her or let them read it and it won't seem so bad.
I really hope this helps, Vicky!! I'm not the best advice-giver here!! I know where you are coming from though, and I will most defientely keep my fingers crossed for you that you get the help you need and deserve!!
Keep us posted!!
