I suppose if it's in a prefessional setting it would be far worse than if it were just two people having a little chat about what's bothering one of them. Though, if he's billing the insurance company for the treatment, that would be a big no-no

greetings alittlebent,

i let them know when it's necessary for them to know. i've been seeing my psychiatrist and she has handled overlooking all of my stuff (physical and psychological) for the last year and a half, so she knows. if i'm going to the doctor with marks, i tell them so they don't think i'm being abused (usually he tries not to mark me around appointments where i'll have to undress though - thankfully i haven't yet had to deal with a doctor who pushed the issue or didn't believe what i told them and still thought i was abused). i tell mental health professionals when it comes up in a session, and occasionally it'll come up with radiology technicians and other random people when discussing piercings and such. i'm pretty open about things like that - the only things that bother me are discussing our relationship dynamic and such in more detail with my mental health people. they're understanding but i know my relationship is not psychologically "normal" or technically "healthy" in their eyes even without the kink (because of our age gap), so i worry about bringing up some of those things. but in terms of just mentioning that we're kinky in a medical setting if it's relevant, i don't have too many problems broadcasting it to the people i feel need to know - i've always found full disclosure is the best way to get adequate treatment.

greetings sambamanslilgirl,

i always love reading you and find your posts inspiring, but i just thought i'd throw in my two cents because i don't think it's coming across very well. regardless of whether we personally approve of your arrangement (i think that's completely beside the point), the fact is, your daddy could lose his entire career over it. it has nothing to do with personal judgment or understanding - it's just the way the law works. i'm not going to say whether you should be doing it or not (personally i usually fall into the "master says" category anyway, so it's not like i'm in a place to judge), but i would worry for his professional life and the possibility of this wreaking havoc on his career.

respectfully,
annabelle.

read my lips - He's doing nothing unethical ...it's not a totally professional relationship between us. yes Daddy does counsel me on the medical issues however you dearie are clueless to assume what is ethical and/or unethical in our relationship.

edit to add - there is no manipulation on Daddy's part wheher we are on kink mode or in counseling session.




She's not talking about what's ethical and unethical in your RELATIONSHIP. I'm willing to bet she couldn't care less. What she IS stating however is that however ethical YOU believe he is, the licensing board for his profession is kind of like Rhett Butler when it comes to what you think. Their response would be "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." In short, you are NOT the one making decisions as to his ability within the limits of his profession as to his ethics. Those, he is answerable to a higher authority - namely those who grant him his licensure and that my dear, you have no say, no control, no nothing over. His professional standing is not your business, your call or even your opinion. THAT belongs to the folks within his state that say he is legally able to practice.

Personally, I don't care one way or the other what you two talk about in private. So no need to get all up in arms about me supposedly passing judgment on you and your relationship. However, when you say that he's your therapist, and he does this professionally, that's a whole different ball game and one in which frankly, you're not the referee. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that none of us really care about the idea that you're seeing a psychiatrist, or even that he's practicing on you. Most of what we're astounded at is the fact that he'd risk so much and more importantly right now, that YOU'D risk so much of HIS profession by admitting what he's doing.

I'm wondering if he's aware that you're saying this and if he isn't, what he'd say about your comments.

juliet
