Do you openly and honestly talk to your therapist, or do you dance around your problems out of fear of looking bad?

Then yeah, new therapist. Specifically one that specializes in ERT (exposure and response prevention)

Walk into any urgent care say I’ve been really nauseas and last time they gave me zofran but my pcp doesn’t have any appointments for this month just make sure you don’t have heart abnormalities and consult doctor
