I think there are subjects our therapists are "good" at and others perhaps less so. Or maybe we are less good at some, which makes their sensitive responses so important...anyway, I'm glad he was on his best behavior today for you!
The body image subject is truly the hardest one for me too. I barely mention it, though my resolution is to begin to think about starting to get in shape, and diet. I agree, I want him to not notice my body, at least not in its present shape.
Do you think it would be easier with a woman? I think I'd just be competitive or jealous if her body was "better" than mine. I HATE this topic. I tell myself that I have a lot of other things going for me - but it keeps coming back to I'm fat and I'm depressed. Not a good combination.
*sigh*
