Has your T ever asked you an inncouous question? Perhaps in the beginning of a session that was meant to break the ice or work your way into the session? But the answer has you so embarrassed that you stammer and hem and haw and try to dodge the question.
What was the question? and What was the answer you were avoiding? |

I would have been tempted to tell him, just to see if he'd ever heard of it or if it embarrassed him
 I embarrass myself because I'll say something like that and then not be able to remember the book title or its author or have the right words to describe it, etc.

I usually consider myself as having good taste when it comes to most things. I have to admit, I like a few things that are...a little different from most of the things I like...which results is some evasions and vague answers.
T asks what music (or books, or tv shows, or movies I like) Me: Oh, I like a really wide variety. T:Like? Me:Oh, quite an eclectic mix. T Like what? Me: Um, I don't have any favourites. I just like a really wide variety... Me: T: okay. Really, I have no idea why I struggle so much with such simple questions. Of course the only things I can think of when she asks, are the embarrassing things that I don't want to admit to. Then again, that's probably how unspecific I am most of the time. Poor T! |

I don't know HOW we got on this topic, or WHY I answered her question honestly.
 After preceding conversation... T: Have you ever looked at porn? Me:  ...erm, ugh, *facepalm*Me: Do you want the real answer? If it's any indication of what came next in that conversation....I really want to read 50 Shades of Grey.

I dunno. I don't generally make a point of it at all, but if I had to, I could talk with my T about sex for entire sessions with no problem. But when it comes to things like emotions, my needs, my feelings about her, etc., I usually feel like I'd rather die than speak. |

I don't have a problem telling the therapist about sexual stuff if they are willing to explain how it might relate to why I am there in the first place. I don't like it when the therapist is just on a fishing expedition because they do not know what else to do.
Sometimes I have earbuds in when I walk into the woman's office and she has asked what I am listening to. That can make me pause if I am listening to show tunes or the Carpenter's. On the other hand, at least then she sort of knows what I am talking about. When I am listening to classical music, the woman appears clueless. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
