What he may lack in experience he makes up for in looks...

All joking aside, he does tell me from time to time about similar trauma cases he has worked with. So, maybe this is just about practicing for both of us anyhow? I mean seriously, how much can I accomplish in the year and a half I will remain in this town? And it's not that he is insensitive. I just find it offensive that he can casually approach the subject when I can't. And I find all words regarding sexual anatomy offensive anyway, within the context that he uses them. So, it's my problem. Not his. I guess I want him to tip-toe around the subject, which he won't do. And that's why I get upset and think he's being mean when in fact he's just being direct. It's not that he's beign offensive or insensitive, it's just that he's being direct and not pretending like it didn't happen, like I still am. That's the problem. I think I still like to pretend that it still didn't happen and he won't let me because he constantly reminds me of it.

So, while I'll agree that he doesn't have that much experience, I think that this is a good place to start. I think I'm going to need more therapy than I can get while I'm in this town, so why not "practice" while I'm here, so I can be a better client with a more experienced therapist. I guess I think of it like a car. He's my first car. Why not get a nice, used car first. Then, when you get more practice driving opt for a better car? Get the drift?
