I loved reading everyone's replies so far! It's interesting how similar most responses are so far. A few people know, but you don't really talk about details, etc.

I figured I should answer my own questions. My husband knows obviously, my stepmother and my dad know, maybe a couple of close friends, and a couple of my colleagues that I'm close to.

No one that knows I'm in therapy hasn't been supportive. My husband had been trying for years to get me to back to therapy, and was very glad I did at first. Now his interest ebbs and flows. I'll usually discuss at length with him what we discuss, and sometimes he cares, sometimes he doesn't. I also talk to my stepmother about T. She's glad I'm seeing a therapist who's person-centered. "His modality is really well suited to address your needs." I guess this is what I get for having a psychologist mother.

Like some of you, I have people in my family of origin who don't know I'm in therapy. I can't have a conversation with my biological mother about the weather without getting triggered, so actual heavy things are off the table.
