I am all over the board with daydreaming about him in many different scenarios. Like we are survivors together in an apocalyptic world or he opens a wellness clinic and hires me as the massage therapist, or I become his live in assistant to the family. All sorts of crazy nonsense.

I live in my head as much as I can.

I told mine many fantasies, including pretty surreal, fictional, even dark and violent ones. I often emailed them because I am much better at writing fictional things than verbally expressing them in the moment, but we discussed many in sessions afterward. They were fodder for interesting conversations and the Ts were usually interested. One of them liked to associate the fantasies with books, movies and other forms of art that my stories reminded him of and I often checked those out on my own when I did not know them already. Those exercises were usually really stimulating and fun although not very useful because they never solved any of my actual issues. More the opposite - one of my main issue was drinking and I often emailed those fantasies drunk, because that's when I tended to get the most bizarre ones... but rarely shared that I was drinking during. Or procrastination - I often dreamed and wrote up those fantasies instead of doing something I really had to do. But I think it can be very useful exploration in the right context. It's not necessarily nonsense IMO.
Thanks for this!

I don't have any, but I think it would depend on the type of therapy you are in.

I don't really have any except her holding me. I slipped that into an email. Otherwise, no fantasies for me.

Eta: I also told her I wish I could take her everywhere. She reacted positively.

I have told her I sometimes want to provoke arguments with her, if that counts. I think I also mentioned tp'ing her office, putting a whoopie cushion in her chair, and slipping some salt into her drink.

Yes.

I've told him that I wanted him to physically hurt me. That i wanted him to marry me. Play monopoly with me, read to me. Sit in his lap whilst he played with my hair but i'd see myself as a child in the last three not as and adult.

I mean I haven’t told him details because I think that would be inappropriate in my case... but I’ve told him before that I wanted to have sex with him (not like asking for it to happen, but that it was something I wanted but didn’t want to want).
Thanks for this!

My fantasies are typically fluffy or sappy, I've mentioned them to my T. She doesn't seem to mind. They're still embarrassing though.

Wow, OMG what did he say? Such courage to tell him that. I have a 20 yr old part that wants to have sex with T but I smack that part to its senses.

I definitely don’t share those kind of thoughts. I will share them about my SO with my T, but he is already feeling like our relationship is more psychoanalytical/ psychodynamic and wrapped up in our relationship than his usual style of practice. I feel like I could damage the alliance by showing less than idealistic/ agape kind of imagery.

I told my T that I've had sexual thoughts about him without going into any details. He said that everyone has sexual fantasies, that it's normal and wasn't a big deal (I think he was probably flattered, to be honest). Pretty sure any nonsexual fantasies (like from more of a child place) I've had would freak/weird him out, so haven't shared those...

I told ex-MC that I sometimes had "non-PG-rated thoughts about him" without details, and he was fine with it. And I think at some point I told him that I wished he could just hold me (that was in an nonsexual way). He seemed OK with that, too.
