I'm not sure about Mair, but I've definitely been very purposely made to feel ashamed.... AT the hospital...
But, Mair, I think what Susan47 said in a thread a little further up is true- what we need to talk about is most especially what we avoid talking about...
I think you should talk about it AND tell T that you've purposely avoided talking about it in the past. Maybe T can help you figure out why it is so important that you can't talk about it!
I've actually been so stupid in the past that I've quit a T because I knew I was doing things/ thinking things she wouldn't approve of- that she thought I was "beyond" needing to do... things "to find someone to love"... and I was too ashamed to talk about it so I said I was all better and quit my T.
Now I understand why it is so much more important to tell T what I don't want to...'cause I hurt myself by doing those same things over and over until I could talk about it. I think I actually hid behind a book when I did finally talk about it with a T... Big, strong Sunny, eh?!? Not!
