So my fifth therapy session is coming up Wednesday (8/16). I have been emailing notes that I have taken on my phone about things I want to talk about in the next session. There are two things I want to bring up and talk about, but I feel like it’s kind of weird. They are as follows:

1. If you ever feel like I’m bullshitting or side-stepping a question during a session, can you please call me out on it? After every session I worry that sometimes in an attempt in to respond immediately or to fill a silence I’ll begin answering before I’m done thinking (or even before I start thinking), and what results is a lot of information that wasn’t even really that relevant.

2. Another thing I’ve noticed is that I go into each session ready to be super open and spill absolutely everything that’s on my mind. Then I feel like I quickly run into a brick wall and all that changes. Then that same night, I’ll have an absolute breakdown thinking back to everything that we talked about. Maybe this isn’t something that I should worry right now since this will only be my 5th session? But it feels like something I should bring up.

Is it weird to bring up this sort of stuff with her? There’s part of me that feels like it is because I haven’t been in therapy with her for very long at all.
