I'm really unsure about this, is this appropriate, can someone just read it and let me know. I just want to be transparent with her.
Dear XXX, I have been wanting to say this for a while but I haven’t been able to in sessions, so I’m writing this email. I want you to be 100% honest with me if you are ok working with me especially when my eating disorder is the main concern and risk. I know last time we had to end quite abruptly towards the end as I was then starting to see the specialist ED team, I did felt like how I was at the time was probably too much for you. I want to be as transparent as possible with you too that at the time when we ended I did see the ending as the same as all the other times that I was let down by others initially, but as time went on I understood it wasn’t. I felt quite guilty that I was letting you down as well, I knew you were trying to help, but when I was that unwell I pushed away anyone who was trying to support me and that included you as well. I do need someone to be fully straight with me. I am really bad at understanding subtexts. I really don’t mind if it’s harsh sometimes, but I just need someone to be very firm and honest. I might be wrong and too sensitive but I have at points felt maybe you didn’t want to work with me. I do probably need a bit of reassurance at times on that because the norm for me has been everyone leaves and that includes professionals. It’s taken me a very long time to get this far in therapy, and I do want you to know that I thank you for assisting me in making this possible. I really don’t mean anything bad in this email, and I just want to be fully honest with how I feel about therapy at the moment. It’s been a constant learning process for me to be talking in therapy, and also learning to trust somebody. I know a lot of my insecurities also play into not fully trusting you to be able to talk about everything, but I am working on that, and I hope you can understand that at times I might need a bit more reassurance than a normal person. |

Is there a reason you want to email this rather than bring itup in session?

“I want you to be 100% honest with me if you are ok working with me especially when my eating disorder is the main concern and risk“
Isn’t this her job? And what has she done to make you believe otherwise? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
