Hi B2, I don't really post much so you might not have seen me before but I just had to jump in here, hope you don't mind!
I can TOTALLY relate to what you've just shared with us and I think you're extrememly brave to bring it up. I also have a similar history to what you've shared about yours (s/abuse & rape) and part of why I find it so excruciating to talk to my T about it is because I've discovered that I have this same little 'problem'... at first I thought it was indicative of an unconscious desire for my T (though we're both women and I'm 90% straight) but over time I've realised that the 'problem' only seems to happen when I'm talking about the stuff that's happened to me... it's put me off talking about it for a wee while and I feel deeply ashamed about these feelings. I understand on an intellectual level that it's the body's conditioned response to the 'stimulus' etc etc but knowing that doesn't relieve the shame...
Perhaps the only way through is for us to bring it up with our T's?? You have no idea how nice (bad choice of word sorry) it is to know that I am not alone with this stuff. Thanks again for having the courage to speak up! Keep talking... :)
Luv x
