I know that my T doesn't really consider anything taboo, but I sure as heck do! Yes, I've revealed some embarrassing stuff to my T, but it was things that were embarrassing to me and probably wouldn't have been to other people. Mostly embarrassment about my reactions to things my T said/did. Like getting hurt that the one time I asked T if we could schedule a longer session, she was unable to do so.

I've found talking about SI incredibly uncomfortable, but that's because of the shame that I feel about it. Also, my sui attempts were very difficult to discuss because of the shame I felt around those.

My T has tried to get me to talk about my strong aversion to being touched, and we did talk about it briefly...that was embarrassing to be because she started asking me about how I handled intimate touch from people I've dated vs casual touch.

There are things I would kind of like to tell my T, but first I would have to get up the nerve to actually say them out loud and I'm still working on that. I have more pressing things to work on in therapy right now, though.
