Umm... my current T spoke with my old T about my stuff before we met the first time.
Our first session had some components of an interview. She asked me about self-injury (wanted me to get really specific with her) about my sexual history (who what when how) etc.
Of course it was really difficult, but it also felt kind of liberating to get all that icky stuff over with.
Anyways, she's a very nice woman, and she had this lovely little thing that she said when she could see that I was mortified. It's okay, Llurpsie. It's okay to tell me this "crap". I'm here to hold your "crap". That's what I do. I can hold [her hands cupped like a bowl] your "crap".
Oh my. Maybe if she had known me better she wouldn't have made her little bowl gesture. she would have made a gesture like a giant trying to hug an iceberg.
