Thank you. That really helps.Brumas94 said:I think it comes down to the degree to which you feel safe/comfortable/heard when with your therapist - and the relationship you have with them. Equally, your own judgement regarding the extent to which your personal need for therapy is interlaced with your AB/DL desires.
A few years ago I did have some 6 moths of therapy for completely unconnected (to AB/DL) reasons. In my experience, part of the process is taking you back to very young childhood and then bringing you back to present, exploring any and all aspects of what might have contributed to the 'you' that is 'you'. This helps one understand the what, why and has some potential to explain, uncover, enable acceptance and adaptation to whatever issues one might be facing. In a way, to make you strong again.
So, I did bring up the AB/DL side after several weekly sessions and they were completely comfortable, both in body language and discussion, regarding it as an intrinsic aspect of who I am. As an aside to that, it helped me feel far more comfortable with 'it' and offered several explanations, in terms of psychological theory, of where it might all have come from.
Good luck with the therapy; it certainly helped me.
Yes you should tell her you are a abdl.Marting said:Hi everyone
I've been seeing a therapist recently and most sessions she's seeming to focus on the fact that I'm not looking after my 'inner child'. I'm continually talking around the subject and saying things like 'I like to imagine I'm small' etc, but feel absolutely terrified to bring up my abdl side. Is it disengenuous of me to not bring it up? I know she's talking about 'self love' and 'self protection' etc, rather than an AB side. Can I carry on without mentioning actual AB do you think? I don't really want to bring it up with her, but am worried my treatment won't be affective if I don't.
