Have you ever had anything embarrassing happen to you in front of T?

Today I was talking to her and I chuckled and some spittle came out of my mouth. It didn't hit her, I don't think, but it did fly out of my mouth and land on her carpet.

I said 'sorry'. Then a few moments later, she said "for what'?

I think she knew what I was apologizing for, but she pretended she didn't see anything I guess.

Any similar experiences?

Well I fell on her once. It was pretty damn embarrassing to face her again the next session.

I think something embarrassing happens every time I see my T
I vomited in front of her (and once even almost ON her), fell asleep while she was still talking, I forget what I was saying and repeat it twice and only notice when she looks amused. I sometimes don't find the right translation for certain words and got myself into embarrassing moments. I think the funniest one was when I wanted to say: "I like that you always have my best at heart" Well, instead of "best" I said "breast"...
Or one day when she came in, I was in the bathroom, hanging over the toilet in pain and wasn't dressed yet because I had no sense of time and forgot when she was supposed to see me... And the bathroom door was wide open!! OMG, that was the most embarrassing moment of my life. She shrugged it off though and helped me get to my room and get dressed.

But there were also the not so funny embarrassing moments. Once I intentionally kept something from her and she found out about it from a third person and when she told me, I was really embarrassed..

By now, I know I can't prevent some embarrassing moments sometimes so we both take it with humor

i threw up in front of my T but he was supportive he rubbed my back while i was barfing. but it was embarassing

I do embarrassing things in front of my therapist every session, I open my mouth and speak.

I have bolted from the room to throw up. Once when my dad was dying, T asked me about him out of the blue and I made this horrible little whimpery noise in my throat. I have sobbed hysterically in frustration. I told him how I felt about him. I am sure I will continue to embarrass myself in front of him.

I got a visible erection while she was talking to me about homosexual relationships...which caused me to cover it up...which caused her to ask why I covering myself up...which caused me to talk about what was arousing me...which basically lead to me spending the next 15 minutes with an erection and talking about my desires for gax sex.

Lol, thankfully nothing too bad. Once I wiped my nose, only for her to tell me I had a boogey there haha. I think the one recurring event is, I tend to stop breathing when I talk and end up losing my breath mid-sentence, usually ending with a whimper sounding gasp haha. She never says anything lol, but it is mildly embarrassing haha.

Not my T, but another T... When I was in highschool I had a really rough session and left in a daze. As I left I rushed by one of the other therapists in the door way and knocked a small door that opens to make the enterance wider, and stumbled outside.

Every time I open my mouth, something embarrassing comes out. She also know that I am in love with her, which is cringe-worthy in itself.

Sometimes I forget what I'm saying in the middle of a sentence. Not because I'm not attuned: I've always been like that.
And when I go there without having eaten, my stomach grumbles. A lot. So she will even know if I'm doing my homework. That's embarassing.

When my therapist and I would laugh at something hysterically funny my gas cannon would blow. I always hoped they weren't the smelly ones. Unfortunately, I ran out of luck one time, but I was just mildly embarrassed, and my therapist just soldiered on.

No worries gtgt-- I'm pretty sure my CBT T has let one loose with me (did I hear what I think I just heard?) Your T has probably done the same and you just didn't realize it.

[growlycat]

Oh, as for myself, I've had to run to the bathroom on a few occasions with a quick "sorry be right back" and an embarrassed explanation afterwards.

Main T is so sweet--I recently told him the truth why I had to take a quick break and I said sorry if that was TMI. He said that nothing is TMI.

[AllyIsHopeful]

GC that has happened to me as well. We were the only two there and whenever we talk about really traumatic things I tend to feel dehydrated and drink a lot of water. One time I was mid-sentence (describing the gory details of something awful!) and I said "I'm really sorry but I'm going to run to the restroom". It was quite embarrassing.

[Solepa]

When we talked about the physical aspect of my abuse on my private parts and my T was asking about the details .... that was certainly embarrasing!!
And just this last session I run out of the room to vomit ... she was waiting outside the door with a tissue. Saying how great that I let it out is ...

My t and i have embarassed ourselves in front of each other a few times
The time was when she visited me last month and we were driving, and she told me which lane to get in to turn, so i wasnt thinking and i got in the lane...into oncoming traffic and a car was heading toward us! We were like, oh *****! We started laughing soooo hard T forgot that we drive on the other side of the road here. OOPS. Since she has lived in this area and another country, both sides look right to her now! We had a good laugh once we realized we werent going to die.

[Nightlight]

I never cry in front of anyone except my therapist and it's still a really uncomfortable thing to do. Obviously I want to go through as few tissues as possible. Not so long ago in a session T says "you have a piece of tissue stuck near your eye". Yeah, crying so much you wipe a disintegrating tissue on your eyes. Totally embarrassing! Use multiple tissues people...!
