In my experience, most people have a much higher threshold for difficult truths than they give themselves credit for. I'd gently state that I'm more interested in what you're capable of as opposed to what feels comfortable to discuss. I am analytical, direct, but also sensitive, and the work I do draws from multiple styles of therapy.
