like, tell them bit by bit before really going deep into what’s bothering you…

But how exactly do you do that?

Any good therapist will first establish a rapport and create a safe space in which you can share a much or as little as you want. They will coax some details but allow you move at your own pace. It's your time, your money, your well being.
