***I marked this as a trigger because this show is about problems in sexual relationships, however, this is not what my topic is actually about...my observation is more about the actual therapy in a specific episode and wanted to know if anyone else had the same feeling I did. This is not a sexual/gender issues topic.

This show is on Oprah's new channel, OWN. I recently saw an episode where Dr. Berman was counseling a lesbian couple who were going through a dry spell in the bedroom. One of them had recently lost a lot of weight from gastric bypass surgery, and instead of the change increasing her confidence, the weight loss made her feel incredibly vulnerable when being intimate with her partner because she didn't feel like a "big, strong bear" anymore. Dr. Berman concluded that both of them were going through a bit of "body dysmorphia"...they didn't see themselves the same way as their partner did (both of them thought the other was stunningly beautiful and sexy). So she designed a powerful exercise where she took them to an artist's studio and had them each undress and put on a robe, sit up on a small platform, and completely drop the robe while the other one looked at them for 3 minutes (taking turns). Dr. Berman set the timer and walked a little ways away, turning her back. She was talking with them the whole time and could hear what they were saying to each other. Afterwards they did more therapy (talking about the experience with Dr. Berman) but they were still wearing the bathrobes.

What popped into my head—would any of you EVER feel comfortable doing this in front of your T?? I would want my T to leave the whole damn building! Granted, she did not see them in their state of total undress, but still, I would never ever want my T to see me just wearing a bathrobe LOL. Have any counselors/therapists on this board seen this episode? What did you think?
