The thing I'm *not* really sure of is if he was attempting to validate what he thought I was feeling. I like your pdoc. He reminds me of the therapist in "Ordinary People", one of my all time favorites.
I think I do try to please my therapist too much, or consider his feelings a lot. But maybe sometimes I'm considering feelings I'm afraid he'll have, not feelings he'll actually have.
I still see no reason I *need* to discuss my fantasies with him, since it's not something I even find mildly interesting IRL.
And while I think of myself as being not particularly ashamed of anything I've done, and really open about my slightly odd sexuality, I think it's possible that some old family values are being handed down. My father never discussed things one way or another. My mother was not terribly religious, but she was Mormon, was raised Mormon, and had certain expectations for me. I'm not sure if I broke those expectations or not. :) I sort of think not, but I'm not about to ask. lol.
