Hi Lucky,

Maybe this is weird, but I don't look at my therapist when I'm talking about my traumas. I try to pretend that I'm talking to the air, or having an internal conversation out loud. I know it sounds really weird but I do it because that is the only way I'll get it out. When I think about it, I must look like a complete freak to my therapist - I fidget the entire time, look away or put my head down, pull my jacket around my chest, I'm there telling him what I know I need to tell him but at the same time, I'm trying to get away by doing all of these external oddities.

It's very uncomfortable, and afterwards, I'm exhausted and barely able to drive home.

Good luck.

Best,
Rachel
