hurro coconut. nice to bump into you outside the psychotherapy forums! hope this place will be as useful as it is over there (((coconut))).

does your T know that SA is something you might be dealing with? or will it come totally out of the blue?

i flagged it as an issue with my pdoc about 2 years ago, but only started talking about it (a tiny bit) last month. i was scared of *everything*. if he would believe me, if he wouldn't believe me, if he thought i deserved it, if he thought i had asked for it, etc etc etc.

but we have been doing it very gently, and at my own pace. sometimes i just say 'i don't want to talk anymore about that' and we talk about something else.

i have had a lot of questions about pdoc since we opened this can of worms. i have a huge amount of trust in him, but talking about this stuff has made me start to doubt him a bit. but that has been ok, because it's been an opportunity for me to ask a lot of questions about him and he is ok with disclosing to me. so it has built up our relationship more, and also taught me that there really are good guys in this world.

sorry for rambling on, i'm gonna shut up now . good luck with addressing this with your T.
