But in my session, I don't worry about what it is supposed to look like and just feel it - and when I just feel it, I realize that it is stronger than it is when it is tempered by social constructs.
I don't feel like I can talk about the arousal part with her right now.

Ah, I see. Yeah it makes sense to me. I think when there is trust in the session, we do take down or at least lower our walls. And yeah, I get how you may not want to talk about the arousal part and it makes sense to wait to talk about it when you're more comfortable. But as others have said, your reactions are from atypical. Sometimes you end up experiencing a lot of things you've experienced in life with other people, with your therapist in a more safe and caring environment. But you're not alone in this.
Good luck.
