I had Dr. Bob remove the name I accidentally revealed in my post. I hope you don't mind. :)
I understand my therapist's point, because he's doing a careful balancing act. He's aware that there's a fair amount of internal conflict over the topic of sex in general and going to a sex therapist in particular. So he's trying to protect me and at the same time validate any steps forward I want to make. I don't make his job easy.
He was in favor of it last night, but after hearing more, he just didn't think this was the right time.
I'm more than a bit angry, even though I understand the difficult position he's in. He says he would feel obligated to tell the other therapist that there was a significant degree of internal conflict. So what he says is going to come across as sounding like a thumbs down. She's not willing to see me without speaking to him. She actually said that at the beginning, too, although then she was talking about speaking to him at some point. Now that point is now. I can't imagine that she would be willing to go forward if he thinks it's not a good idea.
