So I am meeting with her today, for a 90min session  She said I would fill out several pages of forms first, which scares me. I don't want to go into my whole sorted history (mental health or otherwise) with someone I've just met. The fact that she's older scares me a bit too. I am calling her Frau T [whinny]
2) Is actually a man who's web page I found interesting, as he explained a lot about my own issues on it (but not the body stuff). I am more relaxed with the thought of telling him stuff because he didn't make me pinpoint an issue over the phone. But I don't think I can discuss my breasts with a man. I call him Mr. AOL because I found it odd that he still uses an aol email.
Dilemma. I am going to call a few more t's... but what do you all think? I am going to make my own choice in the end of course, but a lot of you know me quite well and your input is usually helpful. My big fear about Frau T [whinny] is that she will reject me when she finds out that I have a lot more issues. I would love to talk to someone who has been thru what I have though. |
I would bet that Frau T expects that you have other issues, and is focused on what you said about mastectomy stuff because it resonates so much with her how hard it can be to find the right person to talk about that stuff with, and she's excited to be the right person for someone. I don't think she'll reject you when she finds out you need to talk about more than that. I agree that it would be great to talk to someone who's been through it, and I hope it works out that you can do more than just process the mastectomy with her.
AOL. Haha. But seriously, I'm not sure I could discuss my boobs with a man either, unless he was my physician and it's just matter-of-fact stuff. I only mentioned the girls directly once and only once, and that was to explain why I had suspected I was pregnant (they were REALLY hurting, for no apparent reason). I said it as fast as I could and moved on to the next thing.
If only you could combine them both into one T...
