text: dealing with a big issue? i have a really big issue i need to deal with,, confront,, ect ect,, i am scared to death to do it,, usually i stuff and ignore problems until i can't do it anymore,, i know this is something that has to come out so i can move on.  any ideas on how to jump in the topic with my therphist? just do it. if you're talking with a therapist then there should be open communication. they can't help you deal with it if you won't address it. good luck.
