I'm sure you are right.
I've wondered if it is harder to talk about weight if your therapist is over-weight too. Mine isn't, he seems in pretty good shape. But I remember reading a web site by the guy who liked holding therapy and he admitted that he couldn't do it with overweight women. How sad is that?!
One of the hardest things I've ever said is that I feel like I am so out of line for having feelings for my therapist because I'm not good enough for him, meaning not attractive enough, not funny enough, etc. I mean, if he is going to mess around with a client, why would he pick me to do that with?! That is pretty presumptuous on my part, isn't it?
I have to wonder if it is easier for attractive people in some ways, though I'm sure there is a flip side. Wow, this is a hard topic for me.
