I just wanted to ask a few questions about what sort of questions is it appropriate for counsellors/therapists to ask clients...particularly young clients...as I just remembered something that happened to me a while ago when I was 13 nearly 14 I had a few sessions with the school counsellor as there had been a few issues at home that have been affecting me and as a result I was suffering from panic attacks and anxiety.She has been really helpful so far in this...however occasionally she would ask strange questions that seemed irrelevant and slightly inappropriate.

Obviously other aspects of your life get brought up in the sessions as well as the issues you have gone with...and I had recently split up with a boyfriend (bear in mind I was only 13/14 and we only went out for 3 weeks)...she asked if I was still with him and I told her I wasn't...that he had been seeing another girl so we broke up...she then began to ask me a series of questions that I felt were completely inappropriate for the situation and for my age at the time such as "do you worry that when your boyfriend was with the other girl he had a hardon (actually used the word hardon!!!) when he was kissing her?" "Do you worry that he would get a hardon when looking at other girls and not when he looked at you?" "Do you worry that he was getting something sexually from the other girl that he couldn't get with you?" I was only 13...I knew about sex from sex education lessons at school and from what friends and family had told me...but in terms of my own life I saw it as something that was way in the future...when I was older and settled down into a long term relationship and in love...I had no sexual experience whatsoever and didn't plan to in the near future so these questions were really inappropriate as it really wasn't that kind of relationship at all...we were just kids...she would also ask where we would go to be on our own to "do whatever it is you do"....

Do you think these are strange questions? Am I just being a bit of a prude?
