I am this way about Dr.'s and the dentist.

I had a hard time telling anyone. Still do. But my T said I needed to talk to them or it would be excruciatingly difficult every time.

She suggested all I had to say was "I had an abusive childhood, and I'm having a hard time here."

It was difficult to say the least and I wrote it down on a piece of paper in case I couldn't do it.

Got through the Dr. okay, (female, that seemed to help me) but used the note for the dentist.

They were both VERY understanding and compassionate.
