What's something about you/your life you need to unpack in therapy?

It's a long list but I think the most important one is that I have problems connecting/socializing with people. I get super nervous and anxious.

In my country therapy is usually for rich people TBH. I use online platform like Retrospring and Twitter to unpack and vent my bottled up feelings. It sometimes helps ...

I could need therapy to work on my shyness, but i don't know if there is something in particular that has to be unpacked

I don't know if anything can be done at this point, it's buried/integrated so deeply, but if anything then it's my dad's constant intense nastiness and rage all the years I was growing up.. exploding for the most trivial annoyances or mistakes. He was Satan to me, and he destroyed my confidence and made me terrified of other people.

my complete lack of focus or purpose or contentment or fulfillment or whatever it is that gets you normies out of bed in the morning 😛

Nothing urgent atm. Although I’m sure there would be something to work on if I dug deep.

I once had a friend who told me things, of course of sexual nature, and she said she would not even tell a therapist about it and I can understand her. A therapist can never be a friend, it is a professional relationship. I have things like that as well I would never tell a therapist.

My crappy relationship with my parents, the fact I can never let things go if people wrong me in any way, my 'sexcapades', I don't cope with anxiety in the healthiest of ways either. I think they'd have their work cut out for them.

Some past experiences that I guess it has affected me more than I'd want to admit.
