I'm so glad you decided to come to therapy with me. You mentioned you were having problems dealing with some shameful secrets that you've been keeping. Now I need you to be honest with me and go into explicit detail. I'm recording our session so I can review it later and make a plan for you to confront your anxieties. Now tell me everything. There is a professional line of confidentiality in this job, and of course this will stay between us.
