“I feel like I need therapy for talking to my therapist I have autism-caused selective mutism and somewhat severe social anxiety I just can't force words out of my mouth when I'm uncomfortable I don't know when to bring up things to my therapist because I don't want to be rude and interrupt her but she probably already has things planned out for the session so I don't know when to tell her It's a lot easier for me to type things than say them”

Well remember first and foremost they are there for YOU. That's your session. Secondly therapists, or at least good ones are adaptable. Consider discussing this exact issue with them. If you feel you are at your best communicating when typing have you considered writing down your thoughts on your phone? You could then show it to them during your session.

The session is about you, not the therapist. It's very considerate of you to care about their session plan but you will do more to help their plan by doing your best to open up about these issues and concerns. It might take time to express this and work through it but hopefully it will lead to improved results and understanding for you.

Let your therapist know before the appointment starts that you'd prefer to type things out instead of speaking them aloud. She'll never know that you feel this way if you don't open up about it - and if you do it before the next appointment starts, you won't be rude or interrupt her. Hope this helps!
