Just to be clear (since you quoted me in your reply): I was saying that no one here can tell the OP how her therapist will respond (which she seemed to be asking at the end of her post), not that no one here knows how their own therapist will respond. That's why I suggested she ask.

Your therapist is very unusual. I like that approach, but I don't know any who would honor it.
