> Dang, you're good. Are you a therapist by any chance?
ROFL! No, I couldn’t be a therapist. I’d never be able to handle negative transference; I’d feel deskilled the whole time.

Hope it helps.
> We've talked about some of those things before. It's the thing I refer to as the thing I wrote on the yellow post it note (and let him keep to refresh his memory). But he says I talk about it in a very roundabout way that makes it difficult for him to understand.
Well, it’s very difficult to be direct about these things!
> But you did!
Well, just because it sounded like some of the feelings I have about myself. Sometimes I think I’m stuck in an immature stage of sexual development. For example, I can touch myself, but I tend to find it difficult to let my husband touch me: I feel like a kid whose interest in her own body is natural but who would feel violated if touched by someone else. Sometimes I think I’m not ready for sex with a partner, like a pubescent virgin (despite having had children; go figure). It’s almost like one of these body dysmorphic things: it feels as if my sexually adult body doesn’t quite belong to me.
I don’t know if any of that applies to you, but I hope your therapist gets a handle on it pronto!
