Advice on opening up in therapy? My mom’s a therapist, so I think this has a lot to do with it, but I have a really hard time feeling safe in my sessions. I’ve been to about 5 therapists so far, one for a year, and I still really haven’t had a productive session yet. Idk if I just can’t be honest with myself and my emotions, might as well sit with them, or if it’s a trust thing. It certainly didn’t help that my last therapist had an Alexa in her room. Idk, I don’t like the idea of my phone, or laptops or anything being where I am. Ads show up when I talk about certain things and although I know I’m one of billions, and it’s not gonna be seen or considered, it still creeps me out. Ugh, therapy is about processing. Why can’t I just do that?

One suggestion for opening up in therapy is to start gradually and build trust in the relationship. This approach can help protect you from getting hurt, but it may make the process slower and longer. It's important to go at your own pace and trust your gut. If a therapist doesn't feel safe, it's okay to look for another one. Remember to be gentle with yourself throughout the process.
