We all tend to think that our thoughts can be irrational at times. I told my therapist that I didn't like pump lotions (lotions that you have to pump to get them out). That just came out of nowhere. She asked me what was it about them that I didn't like. Well, this opened a brand new can of worms! The reason I don't like them is because of something sexual that it brings to my mind. She actually guessed it. Holy cow! I couldn't believe she said what she did. But it sure did open up a good conversation that I feel was necessary to help me with some of my issues.
You have to understand that sexual issues is a huge part of why I am in therapy. Being able to finally talk about things is a major accomplishment for me. I have talked about them from a distant 3rd person point of view many times. But when I address them in first person, that is another story!
