I know some people here have talked to their Ts about sex. Just this week, I opened up to L about one aspect of my sexual relationship with H. I did it through an email. I asked her today in session if that was okay. She said yes, that no topic in therapy is taboo. I now have the urge to just spill my guts about my whole sexual history. The problem is that there are so many trigger words that I don't think I can actually verbalize any of it. So I asked if I could email her about it. She said yes. She said I could also write it out and bring it with me to my next in-person session and she could read it in session -- like I did with the secret. Next in-person session is next Tuesday. She also said we could talk about it on Friday over our video session. The problem is that I don't think I can wait for in-person session. I might chicken out before then, and then who knows when I'll try again. And I don't think I can gently and slowly talk about it on Friday. It feels all or nothing to me.

Has anyone else talked to your T about sex? We're you triggered my the words? If so, how did you do it?
