Hey everyone,

I've been seeing my T for almost five months now and I'm 100% open to her about everything going on with my life. I started seeing her for classroom anxiety and from there our sessions were more of a how my week has been sort of sessions. We were able to hit some hard stuff that involved my family, college friends, and my well being. I've always been open to her about everything I say and I don't hold back.

I'm a gay female so I sort of knew when I had my first session with her, feelings could occur. I did worry that I was alone feeling this way towards my T, but thankfully through the power of Google, I found some resources and also you all and realized I was not alone. Last week was when I found you guys and my session was about several days later.

Our session started out like all the others - whatever is happening thats bothering me that week, that's our topic, but that small topic slowly died and for the first time, there was a silence. I asked what transference was and I was really glad she laughed - a lot of our sessions are joking/laughing to lighten the mood.

She pushed me to ask me why I knew the word and what I was looking up and as much as I wanted to just stop right there, I'm happy I bit the bullet and told her that I have feelings for her. That session was majority of her making sense of what my transference was and she pushed a lot of answers from me until I ran out of answers for her. **Throughout the session she did mention if I wanted to stop and change the subject I could.

During the session she did push answers out of me that involved both of us. I told her that I didn't want to think of it because of the boundary. She asked me if I wanted to know her thoughts but I declined. Throughout the session she did thank me for telling her. I feel really safe with my T and I'm very glad I didn't keep it to myself any longer.

I believe my next session will be me further discussing the things I didn't have answers for at the time.

I just wanted to post here for those looking for examples of patients telling their T's.
