does anyone have experience telling a strick t about it.

ive told my ts before. but they were gentle. this one will probably see it as resistance. or maybe not want to work with me. because of it.

i know i should tell. but im afraid of the response.

another thought. has anyone kept it to themselves. and did ok. going through trauma with it. i s/i-ed because of work today. so maybe should techniquically tell her. before we get into stuff. but i cant.

is there a way to test. if she would be ok with it. or not. some ts arent ok with it.

You don't have to tell everything right away. You are still trying to get used to her.

You could always pull the "my friend s/i's" and see how that goes. But it might raise a flag and if you're not a good bluffed it won't work at all.

Wait until you feel more comfortable with your T. Maybe she's not necessarily strict, but she's too trying to feel out the situation because she might have had problematic patients prior to you. And when you approach the subject -- Let her know you weren't trying to be deceptive. You just wanted to be sure you had a trusting relationship with her before you let her know. There's no harm in wanting to be sure you're safe.

Ask T what her policy is with SI clients. Then you admit it but not completely, but don't have to say anything more if your uncomfortable.
