I'm afraid I can only tolerate the taste of alchohol if it's liberally laced with sugar. I hate to be a girly girl, but could I have a daiquiri or pina colada instead?
Heavens, I'm exposing my bad taste everywhere on the board. Should I admit that I like the salad at the Olive Garden (though admittedly that's all I like there).
I'm going to have to ask my husband about that sexual fantasy thing. I trust him to be honest. It would honestly gross me out to think of my therapist having any sexual fantasies either within the confines of his office or that originated in his office. Sort of like sullying a pure sanctuary combined with thinking of your parents and sex at the same time.
Shudder. Shudder.
And if I knew *anyone* fantasized about me, I'd be too uncomfortable to ever show my face in public again. And I think I include my husband in that.
But, maybe I have a problem in that area.
I think you guys are right though. Wouldn't that knowledge taint at least aspects of future therapy? I like therapist transparency and am not a fan of the blank slate, but could you openly talk about sex or relationships if you knew your therapist had had sexual fantasies about you? I would be secondguessing every word I said for fear that I was trying to encourage or discourage the fantasies. It would really get in the way of therapy, even leaving out my own obvious problems with the topic in general.
