I agree with the others that lying isn't uncommon and that it can be worked through - and a lot learned by both parties, as long as each are willing to own their own stuff. I'd imagine that I'd approach this in a way where I can find a sense of connection with a T based on understanding that I would be talking about my most pressing issues first.
I know that when I first started with T, I absolutely would not work with a female T. Now, I'm wondering if a female T would be more helpful with the things I'm dealing with now. As much as I love my T, we've developed a relationship where it just seems more uncomfortable to talk to him about certain things. *sigh*
Oh, and I remember when I first saw a pdoc....I went to one appt. and that was IT. He asked SO many questions....very personal questions...and then told me about how I should get naked and get to know my body and whatnot....I ran for the hills! Never went back. Sometimes, it's just too much, ya know?
