I've been seeing my Therapist now for nearly a year.

We've mainly been focusing on inner child, reparenting and person centred therapy with also some hypnosis.

For the past 5 years I've been an on and off sex worker. I was only 18 when I started. I recently had a bad experience and have realised that I need to quit. I'm also moving away to my old area where I used to live and getting a part time job/enrolling in college.

For the past 2 weeks I've had some really intense and upsetting emotions come up about the fact that I was a sex worker. I did a lot of things I feel shame about and let a lot of men touch me. Now whenever I think about it I feel physically sick and feel like disgusted at myself.

I have my next therapy session on Friday and know I need, and want, to bring this up but I just don't know how to say it out loud. I did an art journal page the other day. I was thinking of texting my T saying I was struggling with an issue and ask him if I can send him the image and then he can bring up the subject in session?

Has anyone done this before/what's the general view on doing this?
