As someone in my other post said, revealing these types of things can make the therapeutic relationship stronger. I think it has with my relationship. She thanked me for letting her into my "secret world".

And also what others said, she told me to reverse the situation: would I judge, reject, hate her if she experienced what I experienced... I could never hate her. And I would only reject her if she hurt me maliciously.

I am still scared. I'm scared that my secret is no longer a secret. But there's no going back. I'm glad I told her. I'm glad she didn't reject or abandon me. I know she understands me a lot better, and I think she trusts me more.

She gave me and my fiance a homework assignment today: I had to review with him all the ways that she has shown me she cares about me. So far I have over 50 examples... It's so hard to let go of fear, but with over 50 examples of caring acts...

I love my T
