I don´t think having no experiences from intimate relations or sex has only to do with depression, when in midst of depression you don´t feel like looking for a partner but if one doesn´t have a chronic depression there are more to it than that. What does your T say to you about intimacy, does she give you advice or do you work more on an emotional level?

I think it´s very embarrassing to talk about sex and lack of such experiences as my T is married and she´s more than ten years older than me and of course she has rather a lot experiences from it herself. At the same time you doesn´t talk to a T and ask her about her (his) own experiences.

I think it can be healthy to cry and it also seems that several people cry from a lot of reasons in therapy.
i have been seeing my T for 3 years. I saw my last T for over 5 and never cried, and even saw her the day after my grandfather died. I am not a crier in general.

I do have chronic depression, so i know that is part of it. I also am avoidant in the attachment arena, and also have confusion on my sexuality-which i avoid talking about. So there is definitely more to it.

I find the subject of sex embarrassing to talk about in general, but my T makes it as easy as possible (the one or two times we’ve discussed sex and sexuality), and it doesn’t bother me that she’s married w kids.
