You can't openΒ Β the session with, "How suicidal have you been feeling?" And expect me not to immediately shut down.
"[Deadname], I know you're not..." Choose your words carefully. "stupid," Score.
"I know you can do it, you just choose not to." It was never a choice, just a response.
"Come on, [deadname], just talk to me." How am I meant to tell you to tell you of the deepest darkest parts of myself when you don't even know my name.
