One thing I like is that my therapist never tries to pretend that I'm not correct in my self assessment.
He might suggest that there are things I can do to improve my appearance, if I really wanted to. But he never tells me anything untrue.
That makes it a bit easier to talk about. Because if I felt that he felt he needed to politely protest, I could never mention it at all.
As it is, it is a far harder subject to address than sex. For sure. Although I have a sneaking suspicion those are two subjects that really ought to be discussed together.
