Sometimes I write down the things I can't talk about and just show them to the therapist because it's easier than talking about it. When I was assured my therapist wasn't going to lock me up for being crazy it was much easier to talk

That is also a very good idea. I think I will try that. We have a session this Saturday, so that might be a good starting point, written concerns so I don't feel as anxious/embarrassed.
