I kinda figured you had sexual thoughts when I read you brought up the lady thing. Good you could be honest and he handled it well. My t once told me...not for the same reason....but the same issue that every one has sexual fantasies. It's true. Even our therapists do as weird as that may be to think of

I'm always impressed at your memory of what was said etc
Anyway glad it went well. Hope you are able to get a good list of alternatives to email and don't fret on the sex thing. Likely has nothing to do with him. Maybe issues in your marraige or something idk. I tend not to read to much into dreams or fantasy. Sometimes our minds are just silly

Thanks! Yeah, maybe I need to make an actual "alternatives to e-mail" list. Nighttime tends to be harder for me.

Had he not used that female client sharing her fantasy as an example a couple sessions ago, I wouldn't have been quite as worried about his reaction. But then today when he explained the reason it bothered him, I felt more at ease. Because I'd certainly never come on to him in session. (And I think he knows that, too!) And he seems to understand that we can't really control where our thoughts go. I have my share of silly dreams (and thoughts!) too!
Thanks for this!
