Hi. I thought it was very encouraging- what you wrote about how you initially felt resistant to therapy, but are now beginning to feel some attachment to your T. You would naturally worry about disclosure of sexual feelings, but it's a natural, healthy thing to feel them, and eventually (when you are ready) it will help you even more to disclose them. It's a good feeling to know that they are accepted (even if, in his counter-transference, he had the same feelings for you, he wouldn't tell you or act on them). Your goal is to develop your self-confidence, and remove the self-defeating feelings you have so that you get to have your own great life- sex included! You are only at the beginning of your journey, but you have already done the hardest thing- to begin to trust your T.
