In reply to How Do I Tell My T, posted by Soxy on May 29, 2005, at 3:26:19
Hello Soxy,
First, welcome to Babble. I hope you stick around.
I can't add much to what Tamar, Dinah and Jazzed said, except that I had similar fears in therapy, and lots of shame and secretiveness as well. I too felt disgusting at times and was sure my T was going to be repulsed and make me feel even worse. But I can assure you that opening up and making myself vulnerable to my T with my "secrets" was okay, and in the end very healing.
If your T ever makes you feel more ashamed or disgusting, then it's always THEIR problem and the client should never stick around. I know that's easier said than done, but it's not something that should happen in therapy, and any T worth his or her salt knows that.
