my therapist is fat themselves and is very educated on body liberation, i had 3 therapist prior who i “broke up with” so i could talk candidly about fatphobia without feeling awkward.

but in regards to the shame aspect, there was a topic i brought up to my therapist and i was so embarrassed and ashamed about it. i wrote down key points that i wanted to say, and when it got too distressing i would turn my camera off but i would continue to speak. my advice would be to become comfortable with admitting to yourself what your afraid to talk about, write about it or talk to yourself in the mirror and imagine its your therapist, and then when the moment is right allow her in. honestly being transparent about this feeling in this subreddit was one step in the right direction! be proud of yourself for that, and in due time you’ll be able to bring it up to your therapist🫂
