Writing diarrhea

This one girl was going to therapists for around 4 years. But then, when she was seeing a different type of therapist, suddenly, all the "real stuff" started coming out that, in fact, never came out during all the hours spent in therapy.

All those years, the therapists were unable to get on anything close to the same wave-length as this girl.

The other therapist (not a psychologist) showed her that she could totally trust her. Also she let her have free email writing to her. The woman who is the therapist explained that it was really like diarrhea. She really poured out her heart for months (years?).

You know, that just sounds like such an amazing thing to do. Imagine getting it all off your chest...

I automatically thought about this, my anonymous blog. It is an opportunity to do the same thing. But I don't know why it isn't coming out. Maybe it just needs time. I do get nervous that someone I know will read it. I get nervous about sharing my "dark stuff" with others.

Then I think maybe I should do it just on my comp, and not publish it. But I can just feel the importance of actually sharing my thoughts with someone. If I were writing this only for myself, I would write it.

Anyway, we'll see if the deep and dark stuff ever comes out. It sure would be a load off much chest.
