I think body image is a tough thing to discuss with a male therapist, maybe. I can talk about the most embarassingly detailed sexual topics without a blush. But it's hard to talk to a male about how fat I feel, how unattractive. I talk to him sometimes about my feelings about photos of myself, but always in the context of how I look like my mother.
I don't know why that is. He knows I'm fat, and that I don't take enough care with my grooming. He's commented on it from time to time. But it's a hard topic to discuss with a man, I think. Maybe there's some fear he'll agree, or that worse still he'll disagree. I don't really want him to look at me in that way.
