Firstly, I am so, so sorry about the gynecologist. That is just horrible and traumatizing.
Secondly, I am SO proud of you for being so open with T! Talking about your vagina is like talking about any other part of your body. I prefer using (and when clients use) the anatomically correct name for body parts. Also, the way you described the session, it sounds like you did awesome with being really open and honest about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
I, too, have had a talk with my T about some personal things, where I felt it would be 'inappropriate' and uncomfortable for her due to the subject. And I was the one feeling very anxious about it being like "sexual harrassment" due to the depth and graphic way I was talking. I felt like I had to defend myself. But my T was right where I was, and knew what I was communicating, and knew I wasn't talking in a way to offend her or be grotesque. Thank goodness for that.
