I'm going to disagree with Jazz: tell her. Tell her everything. As much as possible.
Who here hasn't googled their T? I did and I toldhim. He didn't get weird about it. He knows we all do it. Your T would have to be very inexperienced not to know this!
The relationship we have with our T is based on trust. We have to trust that s/he will know how to deal with any and all feelings we bring to him/her. That we experience love/lust/ whatever is all a part of the process for some of us, and it's just so very normal...
So, Billie, I don't think you're weird, I don't think your T will think you're weird, and I think you've got a good place to start talking about your life. If this kind of feeling comes out in the first few sessions of therapy, chances are that this is an important issue in your life, one you neeed to talk about, one you need to sort through.How do you tell her? You open your mouth and say it. If you can't do that,. write it down and take it with you. If you can't do that, send it. If you can't do that, well, that's kind of a pity.
There, my opinion, and my opinion only! Therapy can change ouor lives, it can make the dreadful things easier to get through.
