I can tell you I do not answer the questions that are directed specifically at my actions. Why? Because what I do or don't do should not impact what my client does, and sometimes it does if we answer.

On the flip side, any question my inner kid has asked my T, she normalizes and they talk about why they want to know.


I definitely answer the general questions often! Sex can come up a lot in the therapy room, and people voice where they have confusion, problems with their spouse, problems with performance, uncomfortable feelings with certain acts that they want to perform, etc. We talk about why all that is, etc.
this fascinates me. i can NEVER EVER imagine talking about anything closely related to sex. EVER. which is unfortunate because i definitely have issues around it. the thought of talking about it in therapy gives me the heebie jeebies.
