If you don’t want to see a fat therapist, don’t see a fat therapist. I think what was bothersome is that you didn’t just say that, you made assumptions about her fatness. Like right above, you say she has no control over her eating. But you don’t know that’s why she’s fat. Maybe she’s on meds that cause weight gain, maybe she has a metabolic disorder, maybe she’s fine with her weight, and yes, maybe she eats too much. It’s like it’s not just about fat for you—and that’s the interesting part from a therapy perspective.
But why not just say “I don’t want to see a fat therapist”? We all have deal-breakers for therapists. (Mine include, “Must have read Hamlet.”) Just own it. No shame needed.
