Another thing that came up with my therapist: he was trying to help me look into the possibility that there have been sexual experiences, real or imagined by me, in my childhood that might be the origin of some of my anxieties today. He seemed to suggest that I might present some symptoms, but I don’t really agree. I have not been sexually active at an early age, or had extensive knowledge of sex as a child, or presented other kinds of symptoms (I do have an issue with pain during intercourse but I have reasons to believe is a physical issue in my case. He seems to think it is more of a psychological one).

So I believe he does try to subtly point me in the direction of exploring my sexual experiences or imaginations as a child, but I have my own view about that and don’t really think it’s the source of my anxiety. It sounds a bit too Freudian for my taste but he is a Freudian therapist so I guess it’s not his fault:-)
