@supermana Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I’d like to encourage you to keep going to therapy. It can take awhile before a person feels like opening up to a therapist. Having anxiety and frequent panic attacks is a difficult way to live. I know about this as I have anxiety most days and have had panic attacks in the past. What helped me the most was to find a therapist who I connected with and really listened to me. That emotional support was everything. It me awhile to open up too.

Have you told your therapist that there are things you aren’t ready to share? And that you might share those things later on? You can talk about why you aren’t ready to talk about these things instead of what it is. That discussion could be helpful too.

What do you think about my suggestions?
