a “doorknob confession” is when you wait until the very end of therapy to say something that is actually kind of a big deal… and i want to be really clear that i’m not making fun of clients doing this at all! i do it too! sometimes it takes almost the entire session to feel safe enough to say something and sometimes you’re still trying to figure out how to put it into words. sometimes a part of you really wants to share, while another part is terrified of what might happen once you do. and sometimes it just feels a little easier to say something vulnerable when you know you’re about to leave. there’s less time to sit in the discomfort/feel exposed and a very clear exit right in front of you. so yes sometimes the biggest thing comes out with 30 seconds left in the session. and it makes complete sense! it’s a pattern that can be explored! #therapytok #vulnerability #therapistsontiktok #therapy #therapist
