Hi,

I have read that account by yalom before in one of his books, I can't remember exactly how it turned out, perhaps he ended up seeing past his own prejudices.
Yaolm's feelings are not how all therapist's or people feel, as far as I know his issues came from his own childhood with regards the repulsion he felt.so it really was his issue, not the clients or one that is common with all men.

HOWEVER..... as a larger overweight female I know exactly were you are coming from with this. My T is female and yet I wonder if she is replused by my appearance and it is very hard to talk about food/weight issues with someone who (in my case) is very slim and attractive because I feel like I am being judged and she doesn't understand. I also tell myself she would like me more if I was thin. It's a very sad place to be to feel this way, or to feel like the way you are on the outside is more important than the person you are inside

Personally I would rather spend an hour with someone who is a nice person, irrespective of weight. Weight can be lost and gained but it's the person who is inside that matters
