I think I understand what you are saying. That within the theraputic relationship, talking about my inner thoughts is appropriate. In another setting, it could be that someone perhaps did want sex, or something, from me and was using this sort of against me or to manipulate me.
No worries. My therapist is hugely ethical. He wouldn't ask me anything that would be harmful, at least not on purpose. And he would never hurt me. He promised. A long time ago I had a whole huge melt down around how much power he had because I was so attached to him. He said that this is a safe relationship, not like the past, and he would never, ever make me trade sex for his caring and support. I felt terrible that the thought even crossed my mind, but he said, "of course it did. I'm glad we can talk about it."
So I'm safe. Thanks for caring.
