There's one thing about my therapy sessions that's niggling me. Would this bother you? Well, two little things.
The counselor herself is qualified etc and I chose her because she is local to me and only charges £30 per session (that's as cheap as it gets in London). She works out of a therapy room in her home. During sessions I almost always hear her husband pottering around in the room next door. The walls are thin enough that I hear him coughing or putting plugs into sockets etc - so that surely means that he can hear everything I am saying in the therapy room, all those intimate details about my life.
Secondly, the therapist said right at the start that she's not really experienced in counselling sexual abuse survivors. She said "we'll see how we get on". This was 4 months or so ago when we started. She has been helpful in some areas like my lack of self esteem. But she seems really unwilling to talk about sex. When men, relationships, sexual issues come up she tends to ask me whether I even truly want or need a relationship. I feel like talking explicitly about sexual abuse or even about sex - is somehow taboo with her.
Should therapy be a space where I can talk about anything that comes up? Would it bother you that hubby is in the room next door??
