I have seen my therapist for about a month about social anxiety. One thing I have not told her is my sexuality. I feel awkward about it (I am a girl), even though it is something I have many hugely problemtic issues about related to social anxiety (how others see me), and internalised homophobia.....

Well I am worried she may have guessed about how I feel.
Also, last session I noticed she kept fidgeting a lot and playing with her hair, and also her clothes were more revealing and things like that.. It just made me uncomfortable.

Am I reading into this too much? Maybe I should find a new therapist?

There are days when I wear more revealing outfits to work, depending on my mood or whether I'm doing something social afterwards. It has nothing to do with my colleagues or students.

So I probably wouldn't jump ship yet unless the behavior continued, got more obvious, or you told her and she didn't react well.
Thanks for this!

Therapists usually don't guess anything; they wait for the client to talk about what is bothering them.

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