Sorry to disillusion you. (grin).
I generally have no trouble being assertive with authority figures I dislike. I generally have no trouble being assertive with authority figures I like well enough to convey affection with my assertiveness. It's the ones in between that turn me meek and mild. Plus, I'm sure you understand that the particular position I found myself in does not lend itself well to assertiveness. ;)
It wasn't so bad. She walked in the door the conversation went like this. "Still having painful sex?" "Yep" "It must not bother you that much." (because I hadn't called for surgery) I mumbled something about issues that I was working on. Then more confidently stated that my husband was opposed because of general anasthesia. So she said we could do it with an epidural. Drat. There goes my favorite excuse!
If I make it through my current stressors, I'll try to consider the sex therapist again. 'Cause it looks like she's going to make a note on each year's chart. And I do think I really need a sex therapist. Well, when I'm thinking rationally I think I need one. She's the only one around though, and she won't agree to see me without my therapist's ok, and my therapist won't give his ok until I emotionally think it's ok to have one.
