Woman Left Stunned by Therapist's Statement at the End of Their Session
newsweek.comNewsweek that she was left in total shock recently when her therapist said that the 36-year-old "might be gay" at the end of a session.
She had never questioned her sexuality before, and yet, right when their time was up, her therapist dropped a major bombshell.Lynch, from Northern Ireland but living in London, said: "I initially went to therapy over a bad breakup, so a lot of our sessions surround relationships, both platonic and romantic.
As I date men, my sexuality hasn't really come up until recently."I have been attracted to women before, but I've never dated one.
The idea that my entire dating history could potentially have been a lie is pretty mind-blowing. Also, the fact that I might not have known this about myself seemed crazy, too."As much as therapists help clients learn about themselves on a deeper level and tackle conversations they might not be comfortable having elsewhere, sex and relationship therapist Leigh Norén told Newsweek it isn't best practice to bring up such major life changes at the end of a session.Norén said: "Regardless of how well you know your client, you never know definitively how someone will take this kind of thing.
