I have recently entered exposure theraphy for my 2 car accidents. The insurance company has given me 10 sessions which have to be used up by the end of December to work through them.
When I first went to the therapist. He had me fill out a questionnaire. There were a number of questions on sex which I declined to fill out as I felt it has nothing to do with the car acccidents and I didn't feel comfortable talking to him about that subject.
He was quite upset and said I wasn't committed to theraphy because I didn't answer the questions. He also commented that he had the "secret" as how to get people better and that alot of therapists didn't understand what it was, but he knew the answer.
I have had a couple of sessions since. This last session he said I was missing out on alot of things in life. He said that sex was one of them. He said that most people find it a very important part of life and didn't I feel that way. I said I didn't want to talk about it and he said "but some people like sex better than chocolate" and it was that important to talk about.
I changed subjects. In the end of the session he asked me if I had enough people hugging me. He said I need hugs to get through this and wanted to know who I had in my life that hugs me. He seemed stuck on the subject.
I am very uncomfortable with some of the things he says. Is it just me, or is this normal for a theraphy session?
I don't know that the insurance company would be happy about these discussions and I have to pay the 150.00 for the 10 sessions and then get reimbursed at the end.
It is too late to find someone else and I can't seem to get him to focus on the accidents.
Am I being too sensitive?
Any advice or comments would be very much appreciated!
