I am asked how does it affect me and why does it matter. Obviously, it has impacted me adversely for me to be where I am.

A while back I had a similar response in a session. I had just disclosed in a previous session some childhood sexual abuse that had obviously adversely affected me. The next session while talk around this experience, my T asked... 'So, do you think you had a normal sexual development?' Inside I was like WFT and my head just started to spin thoughts like 'Is she confusing me with some other patient?' I think in the session I simply stated that my physiological development has always been within the normal range and move on to another topic.

I'm not sure of the quality of your T, but you might want to hang in there a little while longer and see if there is eventually a point to these questions. I think sometimes we are so good at avoiding topics, that they run out of way to initiate certain conversations.

When it seems like my T appears to be asking dumb or strange questions, I start asking myself... am I being a willing participant in the discussion today? I my case the answer is usually NO.
