Hi Sar!
My shrink just told me I'm manic, he said whenever I start talking about having sex with him, I'm manic. I guess it's pretty clear cut although I don't feel manic just sexual, so who knows?
Anyway, I do see him for therapy and meds (1and 1/2 years now- good guess) and I feel like I can say anything to him (or as you put it be brutally honest) I do see a female therp in addition (who happens to be a lesbian, but no I'm not bi) and she's the one who's an expert in child abuse and SIV (self inflicted violence) She's really good and I felt comfortable with her right away so none of that sexual tension I have with my shrink (but there's lots of issues there like my ex-shrink who crossed boundaries) so actually he can really help me work through those issues by keeping his strong boundaries. So far nobody's ego has been affected (quite amazing with a shrink involved :-) and I really feel like they both want to help me and each brings a different perspective. I hope all of this made sense and I hope you're doing well - Judy
