I have been wanting to bring this up in therapy for a while now. Basically I want to bring up this youtuber and fitness influencer 'Stephanie Buttermore', obviously I don't know if my T have any knowledge of her or not, she might she might not I don't know. I guess its kind of relevant to me as I have followed Stephanie's all in journey and that's always been where I want to be in terms of recovering from an eating disorder, and allowing myself to settle where I need to be.
I feel like it's a bit weird just say oh I saw this on like a youtuber documenting a journey or something like that. I mean it's normal if my T doesn't know her, but I mean it's a little bit awkward too if she does I don't know. is it rude to kind start by saying like 'have you heard of this youtuber called 'Stephanie Buttermore' or something like that? |

I don't think that is rude. I have asked my T: have you heard of the music artist Toby Mac? Because I wanted to discuss something he said and I didn't know if she was familiar with him or not. She wasn't. So I went on to explain a little bit about him and then talked about what he said that resonated with me.

I don't think it's rude. I take little tidbits that I learn from here and share them with her. I always just say "The forums said..." I've shared other things with her too. We both share with eachother things that relate.

95% of my conversations with T start with: have you read... have heard the album/artist/song...do you watch... have you heard of... etc. I’d hardly classify that as rude. It’s more of a jumping off point for a conversation.

No it isn't rude, it's important to bring the things that mean a lot to you in to therapy, whatever they are.

No it's not being rude. I often share with my t books, speakers, ect with her. I think what ever helps you is good to share.

Not awkward at all. My therapist and I talked about SpongeBob the other week.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
