Does anyone have a therapist they know/believe to have a different sexual orientation from them? Do you feel comfortable talking about your sexuality? If not, how come? How have they handled it? Did they ask your sexual orientation at intake? Did they assume you were a sexual orientation that you are not?
After discussing some misunderstandings, my therapist seems open to talking about my bisexuality. However, as a woman, I feel very uncomfortable discussing my attraction to women and longing to be in a relationship with one (she's a straight woman). In a sense, I get that this is no different from a female patient having a male therapist and discussing wanting a relationship - but I can't seem to shake off a feeling of discomfort...
Thoughts, suggestions?
