BLThings that are 100% okay to say to your therapist 🛋️
✔️ “I don’t know what to talk about.”
Totally fine! Sometimes that’s the best starting point.
✔️ “I didn’t want to come today.”
That is so okay to say. Maybe you’re tired, overwhelmed, avoiding something hard…or just didn’t feel like it.
✔️ “I didn’t do the thing we talked about.”
No explanations required and I’m not grading you.
✔️ “I don’t think this is helping.”
That’s not rude, it’s so important. If something feels off, slow, confusing, or unhelpful, say it and we’ll adjust.
✔️ “I don’t want to come every week.”
Okay, let’s discuss! Maybe we adjust frequency, explore avoidance, discuss finances, or your schedule. We’ll find something that works and is clinically appropriate.
✔️ “I’m running late” or “I need to reschedule.”
Life happens. Just communicate with me!
✔️ “I’m scared to try EMDR.”
Totally fair. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing isn’t something you’re forced into. You can ask questions, go slow, say no, or change your mind. We will never do anything without your consent.
✔️ “I feel embarrassed saying this.”
That sentence alone usually means you’re about to say something important.
✔️ “Something you said has been bothering me.”
Please tell me. Therapy gets stronger after rupture and repair, not weaker.
Honesty = better therapy. Every single time. 🫶🏻
