These things really resonate with me too daisy....and once again your ability to tell your T what you're thinking seems so incredible to me. From what you've said I know it was incredibly hard...but you look at issues from so many angles and express your thoughts so well. You actually say things I feel inside, but haven't come to consciousness until you say them - then it kind of strikes me.
Would you feel any differently now if you saw your T in public? It's one of those things I don't give much thought, till a babbler brings it up, then I give it a lot of thought...which maybe good in case it ever happens.
Body image is a big issue for me too. It's one of those things that makes me bristle.....and like you, I hope he doesn't notice I'm overweight... not likely. Or if he does notice I hope he won't say anything, but if he doesn't say anything I wonder what he thinks. My last T said "it's not like you're huge or anything..." I wanted to smack him! I can't seem to hide behind my clothes.
Ah, it's all so hard.
