I'm sorry you had to go through with a painful procedure without the doc telling you what they were doing step by step. Thats terrible.

You sound like you have an excellant therapist who did a good job helping you. Yes it is something else to talk about such personal issues but thank goodness for the support help and understanding doing so can bring. Even though it can be uncomfortable to talk about these things Im sure therapists do not see it as TMI. I know I have drawn boundaries as to where I think they should be. Then as I cross them into a new level or discussion something wonderful happens. I am discovering that connections can incude things I thought were off limits and it feels like a new deeper place over time.
