Thank you for your replies...I just thought it was a bit strange...as the reason I went to her was to do with some issues with my family and the impact it is having on me anxiety wise... (experiencing some social anxiety and panic attacks as well as stress from it). I didn't go to her for any reason relating to sex...I did see this therapist for quite some time...so it's not as if a complete stranger asked this in the first or second session...but I do feel it was irrelevant...and at the time made me worry about things I didn't need to worry about at 13/14...I think it's possible that she might have been trying to find out if I was sexually active...without asking me outright...as my bf at the time was a little bit older (just turned 16 while we were going out)...incase I had any issues I couldn't talk to my parents about ie fear that I might be pregnant, pressured into unwanted sex by someone older etc etc which a lot of teenagers go through and being young if asked by an adult if I was sexually active I might have said "no" even if I was out of fear they'd inform my family cos of being underage...so perhaps if she asked a slightly explicit question in a roundabout way to test my reaction she'd get her answer...ie if I look perplexed she'd know it wasn't an issue as not at that stage of my life etc...or if I seemed to be more aware and knowledgeable she could try to get me to open up more if there was an issue...however it was a bit irrelevant...and I think she asked in a way that was condoning and normalising underage sex so that I wouldn't feel judged if I had anything to say on that subject...cos she might have worried cos I did have social anxiety I could find myself in a difficult situation with an older boyfriend ie not having the confidence to say no to anything I didn't want etc (but it didn't affect me in that way...just things like big group situations and speaking in front of a gruop fo people who were aving a conversation and some confidence issues due to things that are too indepth to go into here and now...to do with my family and some health issues).
