How can I come out to my therapist?

I’m a lesbian, I have known since October of last year. I started seeing a therapist for other issues in January, and for what ever reason whenever she asks me about boys I always just say, ‘nope. No boys’ and just leave it at that. I feel like I should come out to her, but I don’t know how to or how to explain why I’ve been going along with her ‘Any boys?’ questions for the last 4 months…

I'd say simply: There are no girls in my life no. That way you don't have to say: "Oh by the way I'm a lesbian". You can give it just a little push out there and see where it takes you.

If she can't catch a hint after that then honestly you should just say that you aren't interested in guys or say a joke like "I'm as straight as a circle", she'll then understand. To get past the issues you're dealing with besides from being a lesbian, you have to be upfront and honest with your therapist. What if you come across a problem with another girl and you need to talk about it in confident that someone will keep it confidential? It may seem hard, I know, but to move on from your struggles/problems you should really think about letting your therapist completely in(: -Torrie(:
