This might seem rather random, but would you consider yourself attractive? And I'm curious if your therapist told you what he finds attractive about you - more exact terms.

My therapist has stated directly that I'm special to him and he has demonstrated that in a million ways. But I'm equally sure that he finds all his clients special. This doesn't mean I doubt the deep connection we have forged - today I asked him how I was supposed to get through all this hard stuff and he said, "hold on to me. Hold on tight and don't let go. Even in-between sessions, we are connected. Take me with you." He calls to check on me, which is one of the things that always raises eyebrows - but it works for me.

I don't know why you are in therapy. I do know that if you are working on csa issues, disclosures like this are not likely to help the therapy. You need a really safe place that isn't sexualized. However, if you are working on trusting yourself and your perceptions and awareness, knowing that what you are feeling is true seems incredibly important.

I think you must just keep asking yourself what this means to you. And answer yourself as brutally honestly as you can. Therein lies the therapy.
