I have not told my T about this place. I told her about another forum I use for AN support, but not this one. I thought about mentioning it, but I realized I am scared to tell her. For a couple of reasons: I am afraid she would come here to 'find' me, and also because I don't her to think I am talking about her behind her back. I know that probably sounds strange.

I relate to how you feel about the thought of talking about her behind her back...it doesn't sound strange at all to me!
That was an interesting ? T asked me, wasn't it? I should have asked her
why she asked it. I think really she asked it though because I do have the habit of wearing a mask to hide the passionate side of me, to appear calm and controlled and guarded and reserved and conservative.....I think she wanted to be sure I was being honestly myself here, not only picking and choosing which parts I wanted to share. Otherwise, what is the benefit and the value, to me or to others, if I am deceptive in that manner?! That, I think, is why she asked.
