Hello locust,

frankly, I haven't ever discussed kink issues with any T. And I wouldn't, if not really necessary for the therapeutic process.

I think most psychologists and psychotherapists do lack the necessary knowledge and do not provide much more than a mere superficial sight, since they neither have any experience nor special qualifications. So in most cases one will be only confronted with bias, more or less academically disguised.

The question if putting something up as topic is always, if there is a good reason to do so. As long as there are not arousing serious problems physically, psychically, socially, financially or professionally I don't see a sufficient reason to spread personal and intimate information without knowing what will happen to it.

If your T is qualified and agrees to first listen off-record, well, then okay. Otherwise I would prefer to discuss such matters with good friends who are really trustworthy.

Also there are several special interest social websites, where a few people can be found that give good advice on general questions. But of course it takes time to get a reliable orientation in these environments. Faster is asking the T.

Or asking a bit more specifically here in this section.
