Hi Meg ~

I can relate to your post. Email isn't an option for me, and I have disclosed in person what I feel is my "very stupid" issue that I'm sure people would laugh at or not understand the severity of. At my last visit with my therapist (who is a psychiatrist), I asked if she sometimes just sat there listening to me thinking to herself that she can't believe she spent 8+ years of medical school/training to listen to someone with this type of problem. She promptly pointed out that she didn't think my problem was stupid at all but that it was very likely I was "projecting" my own feelings about my problem onto her.

This made sense to me. And even though I still can't help but think she must think my probs are ridiculous, it is likely I'm being too hard on myself.

So after this long post about me, I'm wondering it the same might possibly be true in your case. Perhaps you're assumning your T will find your probs laughable when really it is only something *you* worry about.

Good luck.
Kim
