Thanks Maria
I wish I could say I am always direct, but of course I am not. I was trying to answer a question about sex last week on Friday, and I got all embarassed, and my T said, "oh come on, we're all adults here." He said this even though it was not about childhood stuff or csa, but as a young woman. I felt so stupid as I evaluate sex offenders all the time and have no trouble asking them to be specific and if they are not to then ask if they did this or that. I guess mostly I try to be direct or at least tell my T if I can't be more direct. Guess that is being direct.
I was going to say, what have I got to lose. It is a funny thing, but I don't think my T will ever say to me that I need to leave or he doesn't want to see me anymore. He is so gentle mostly and kind. I tried to be direct with my previous therapist, and it got me on a table with my brains being zapped. So much for being direct. Guess it depends on who you can feel safe with being direct. I am still learning. Now I guess I better go to bed. Thanks for your comments. It is nice to hear something complimentary. We all need it don't we.
