Howdy Justice,
A good therapist wants you to do exactly what you are somewhat fearful of doing. They want to see the things that nobody else sees from you. They want you to reveal yourself at a level that you never reveal to others. That helps them to better be able to help you, and is also usually a freeing exercise for you. Group is also great because you can witness the fact that you aren't so different at all. That brings on feelings of solidarity and also raises your self esteem, as you will feel more "normal". The success of counseling turns on finding a good counselor, revealing your deepest self to them, keeping an open mind, and having a willingness to forgive yourself, where needed. Have a fine evening. RM
