She did tell me that she can see blurs, in fact at a concert we were both at, she told that she saw me there (but I didn't see her), I wondered how (since I knew about her condition by than) she saw me and she said that she could recognize my blur.

Yes she is considered blind but she could still recognize people. Legally blind people could often recognize others.

Are you having an issue with her being blind or the fact she didn’t tell you earlier?

I think if it pertains to your therapy or a choice of a therapist than I think you have rights to know. I don’t think we have rights to know other random things. I mean we could ask. It doesn’t mean we can demand the answers

Probably that she didn't tell me earlier, I don't know if it had much to do with the fact that she had vision problems, just that she didn't tell me earlier.

If it is degenerative (sounds like it is), it may be that it progressed to a different point and that has made a difference in her disclosure. Earlier it might not have been as big an issue for her perhaps.

A therapist doesn’t have to self-disclose personal things such as sexuality. It’s their business just as much as it is your business what you prefer. Therapists are taught NOT to self-disclose much boundaries are important. It may be helpful to discuss this with your t.

Buy what if you don't want to see someone with an alternate sexuality.

"Alternate"?

If you don't know about their sexuality and you have no issues in therapy with them, what does their sexuality matter to you at all?

I guess Alternate or Alternative, I use the two almost interchangeably. I guess if someone doesn't want to see someone who has one of those sexualities than they have every right not to see someone who has one of those sexualities.

Personaly I am not that opposed to it, in fact I identify as Asexual so the Therapist and I were probably as opposite as you can get.

What’s alternative or alternate sexuality? One of “those”? What do you mean by that?
