My therapist is a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapist, using self-psychology techniques with a few other things thrown in. He truly believes in attachment theory and regression. I would not have been able to say any of that a few years ago. I had no idea when I started therapy what the differences were and why they might matter. Essentially, I lucked out.
As far as the questions, I guess I'm more surprised at therapists who don't ask questions, particularly when things are hard to say. Not that I think sex is important for everyone to talk about. And for sure I was shortening a session-long process so it sounds more bold and in-your-face than it was.
I know things are often really hard to talk about. But if we can push ourselves to risk it, the response is usually so forth it.
