I tried the therapist route before, following my SO's suggestion. She thought it would help me stop CDing. On the contrary, it made me feel more confident than ever. I felt so comfortable with the therapist that I dressed up at the 3rd session. The therapist invited my SO to join us for our 5th session. She mentioned to my SO that I was really a beautiful woman inside & out. That she should accept me for who I really am, and also support me, embrace it and participate! I was ecstatic...until my SO blew up in front of the therapist. That was the end of the session....and CDing has been a major source of disagreement between my SO and me ever since...
Hopefully, my "therapist " story will not happened to anybody here on the forum....
