Hey,

I only skimmed through these other replies so hopefully I am not repetitive. I am going to include some personal information here as well.

I have been sexually abused throughout my life and my counselor is a male counselor. I have been with him for a long time now. I was hesitant to talk to him at first because it was hard to talk about sexual things with a male. However, female therapists were not working out for me so I decided to give him a try. I have been with him ever since and I am thankful for him.

You said you've only seen him once before and you seem like you'd like to work through your fears. Working through your fears and developing a therapeutic relationship with this counselor could do you a world of good if you'd like to try it. Maybe you can ask him if you can get to know him and trust him for a little while before you delve too deep into your traumas?


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
