What hypothetical questions have you asked your T?

Today we got into a discussion about what would happen if my T collapsed on the floor and I ended up asking him: if he collapsed on the floor and I called an ambulance and accidentally heard or saw the name of his next of kin which I'm not meant to know, would he be annoyed? (Answer: no.)

I asked my T if I were to die, if he would give a eulogy, as he is the only person that actually knows me....

I also asked if he would talk to my children if I were to die...

I also asked him what percentage of men have probably either with intent or not date raped or raped a woman..(he also works with some sex addicts so he might have better insight than some)

I asked him if he ever did house visits....I have read about some especially older school T's that do them to learn more about the client..

I have asked him if he had an animal protector, what would it be.

I asked if he would stay with me in my "safe place" sometimes when I go there for safety...

I asked him if my "inner child" so to speak could stay with him.....

Just a few of the bizarre things we talk about that are actually quite meaningful to me...

I asked her how she would respond if I knocked on her door in the early hours of the morning, in crisis.

I asked her how she would react if I cried in therapy.

I asked her how she would respond if I left a session and never contacted her again, would she be worried, angry etc?

Hmm...I don't feel trusting or spontaneous enough to ask many random questions.

hahaha! Poor T. I suspect they like being challenged and kept on their toes.

What were his answers? I'd be really interested to know?

I'm so very sorry, but most of them were pretty private and had meaning and explanation attached to them....it would almost be like breaking HIS confidentiality.....but gives everyone some new ideas on how to freak out their T's..!! Hope you understand....

I never ask my T whether he goes anywhere on his holidays, and I'm sure he wouldn't answer if I did ask.
Thanks for this!

I asked her how her arms got so she-hulk buff
I asked her what she thinks of me & how she would describe me
I asked her how she would describe herself
I asked her-- if she were someone else-- would she think she was hot
I asked her about her home-decorating style
I asked her if she loves all of her children equally or if she has a favorite
I asked her if she ever feels like she makes mistakes with her kids
I asked her what physical qualities she finds attractive in men & women
I asked her if she thought my ex-T was hot
I asked her how she thinks vaginal and clitoral orgasms feel different
I asked her, if she were my parent, if she would be proud of me & my accomplishments
I asked her, if she weren't a therapist, what would she want to be
I asked her how she thinks we're similar and how we're different
I asked her what her religious and political views are
I asked her where she thinks she falls on the butch/femme scale
I asked her if she any major regrets in life
I asked her how she would have responded if she were in my partner's situation (when my then-partner and I had a major disagreement)
I asked her "why" when she told me that she asked her then-husband for a divorce
I asked her how her kids handled the divorce
I asked her what music she listens to (and then light-heartedly mocked her)
I asked her what TV she watches (and then I recommended a show to her)
I asked her if she would attend a significant event in my life (and she said yes)
Thanks for this!

That's nice of you to protect his privacy, even though you don't have to.

If she died could I go to her funeral.

She was always willing to answer my weird questions, because she thought it was therapeutic.

I gave up on hypothetical questions because she gets so confused.

Inspired by a recent thread here I asked him if he would terminate me if I hit his table. He said "no".

I asked my previous T under which circumstances he could report me... He didn't understand the question so I gave a hypothetical example that if e.g. I bought a rope and told him that I planned to SUI then he would have to report me but... And I didn't manage to finish because he freaked out even when I hundreds time said that I do not plan anything and that it was just a hypothetical example... He didn't like it so I've never asked him any hypothetical questions again...
Thanks for this!

I asked my T for a referral to a therapist she'd recommend, in the event she unexpectedly died.
