i believe you, and that people in these professions are as capable as any other segment of society of committing such a horrid act. i hope that the ratios are better somehow..

i am so sorry this happened to you.

this is a tough question... i couldn't possibly in a million years guess how you must feel now. i would think that is the key, how do you feel now?

personally though? i would tell him, and as upfront as possible, but not in an emotional or detailed sense... how he reacted would tell me if i could work with him. Otherwise i think i would go to every session feeling it looming over me like a huge secret... and i discovered that in my first few therapy appts i could just prattle off painful events without the pain, then, once T got to know me and he mattered i wasn't able to tell him those things. So, if i had it to do over i would have given him a more complete list while i didn't care what he thought. BUT that is just me.

i wish you luck and good wishes...
