Me2, As a guy, I can imagine why he does not open up. He is probably afraid of your reaction. He is afraid of exposing feelings that he is still somewhat confused about. He is afraid he will do more damage opening his mouth. He probably does not trust you to accept the things he has done if he tells you about them as he is having trouble accepting them himself. He is probably scared.
As a guy, these are the kind of feelings I have. Use the C sessions as the vehicle for these kind of discussions. Pick one topic to work on during the session. Thats what I do. My next C session with W is in March. My topic is personal identity and why does W feel like she lost hers.
I hope that one day we get to the point where we can talk about this stuff without a C. Right now I am a little gun shy.
