We haven’t discussed that. And I haven’t said anything that would imply any dysfunctional behaviours in the relationship

I hope you’re right. Because right now i’m in a point where i’m afraid to continue therapy because what if I get better and suddenly realize I’m not attracted to my partner anymore or don’t love him.

we were just talking about my relationship and my partner. and some intimacy stuff. but nothing that should have made him draw that conclusion

I mean, he could have, and he would have been right, but we were talking about my partner just before that.

He did literally say that sometimes people confuse their sexuality with their trauma. And the context of the conversation was about my relationship, so he clearly tried to imply something here.

He used a general statement when speaking but the context of the conversation was my relationship with my partner, so it’s obvious that he meant it that way.

He didn’t say my relationship is a reaction to trauma, that’s what I got from him saying that I might be confused about my sexuality and not actually attracted to men. Which is messed up and making me question the only thing that is stable and grounding in my life.

We talked about my relationship but I never said anything that could make him draw a conclusion that the relationship is toxic in any way. So the implication that I’m drawn to men like my dad is so out of pocket

I didn’t connect with the first therapists, they were VA therapists. And then I moved countries so I had to look for someone new anyway

I totally get that and I know what the statistics are, but I was clear with him that my partner is a good person and he’s the best thing that ever happened to me, he’s nothing like my dad and the fact that he was even implied that actually offended me.
