I would have to agree with others here. I don't think any good can come from telling the psychologist you're a pedophile. It would be totally unhelpful and unnecessary and may cause you more problems down the line (it will likely stay on your medical records forever). You could hint to the fact that you have thoughts that sometimes cause you distress, that's all I said when I was seeing people for my unrelated illness a few years ago. Your sexuality, however, is not an illness and you have no reason to tell it to a psychologist; it's none of their business. Imagine someone telling their family that they're a homosexual and they advised them to get psychiatric help, I think it would be somewhat offensive. If you need to see a psychologist for other reasons that's fine, but you don't need treatment solely for pedophilia; it's a beautiful thing and it's not a mental illness. DSM-5 is a farce. If you're fine with being a boy-lover then you don't need help, be who you are and be proud of it. That, at least, is how I feel - it is up to you what you do. Stay beautiful. -Human- |
