Lesson Overview

25.37 – How to Talk to a Therapist About Your Past: Opening up to a therapist can feel intimidating, especially if trust was once misused. Begin by stating your comfort levels clearly—what topics feel okay, what’s off-limits, and how you prefer feedback. Good therapists respect pacing and never pressure disclosure. You can share memories in fragments or metaphors until words feel safe. Therapy is collaboration, not interrogation. The right professional helps you build skills before revisiting heavy history. You guide the timeline; they guide the tools. Gradually, sessions become a place of control instead of fear. Speaking your truth in safety teaches your nervous system that vulnerability can coexist with protection.
