Hey Karen Kay! It's so funny... I related so much to everything you said, small breasts and all! I have never brought up anything about my body because that would only cause him to look and that would make me really uncomfortable. For awhile, some of my meds were causing me to break out, and I've never had skin problems before. I was too embarrassed to mention it to my T in case he didn't notice, anyway. I just kept taking the meds and went to a dermatologist to get more meds. Then, people were commenting that I looked too thin; that I was losing too much weight. This was another med-induced phenomenon, but I wouldn't bring it up with him because then he would give me the up and down, and I would feel totally self-conscious. I know I'm not fat, but I still feel like I am, and I don't like people assessing my body! To talk about these things in therapy would be, as you said, bringing attention to things he might not even have noticed.
Anyway, thanks for the advice! And good luck working things out with your T!
