I am wondering if this was totally weird or if anyone else ever did anything like this. I doubt it! Last week T suggested drawing a part of my body that I have issues with, so I did. This week I brought my sketches into the session and showed her. I was perfectly comfortable doing that, and it helped T understand something. She even asked me to bring my drawings back next week.
So this is not a question of boundary crossing because it is for a therapeutic reason. But she's not my medical doctor, so I wonder if there are any rules about showing a T part of your body that's usually covered even if it's for a therapeutic reason. I wouldn't have undressed or even shown her a photo, but my drawing seems different. It was such a good session and I felt really close to my T. I can be myself and let myself be seen by her, figuratively and physically. No way would I want to be friends instead! That was in reference to another thread. I'm in uncharted territory with my T, and am surprised how my comfort zone is changing. And that's an amazing feeling. |

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