Anyone got stories they’d like to share about burping told in therapy. Whether that’s you talking about it in therapy, burps you’ve brung up in therapy, burping in therapy, your therapist burping, or advice for people who are extremely uncomfortable bringing this up in therapy? I want this thread to mostly be about the topic not bringing up the burps that happened behind closed doors themselves.
(not burps either of you have done in therapy although I’m not opposed to that being mentioned here)
I guess I’ll start - the first time I brought up my fetish in therapy I was suuuuper nervous and they were like “wait say that again” and I was like “Yep you heard that right 
” I was super nervous but peeling the tape off was the hardest part, now it’s a little easier to talk about it although I haven’t brought up any specific events other than one to them yet.
Their extended reaction was basically the fact that they’d never heard about it before, and neither had my psychiatrist when they brought it to to them.
Obviously if you’re a therapist respect your patients privacy, but a reminder that if you’re the patient you can bring up anything you or your therapist brought up in therapy.

I’ve never brought it up directly, though my current psychiatrist is GORGEOUS and I’ve seen her stifle a few, one audible. I have debated mentioning it to her once or twice, though I ended up not doing it because there’s sort of a conflict of interest there and she’s really sweet, and that’s obviously a whole ethical dilemma.
I have mentioned my fart fetish to a therapist once when I was much younger, when I was trying to figure out my bisexuality. She basically went “oh yeah that’s nothing” and we just moved on

See the thing is I see my fetish as a significant portion of my life that’s affecting my normal day to day life, especially because it’s an addiction, so that’s why I’ve brought it up. If you don’t want or need to bring it up to them you don’t have to.. but it would probably be smart.

Hmm. In what way is it an “addiction”? Normal sex drive isn’t considered such unless you’re engaging in highly risky behaviors, iirc

I just feel like this takes up way too much of my life. Like if I were to get into a relationship I wouldn’t even be able to properly engage in it because I engage in anything related to this fetish too much.

Would you be able to properly engage in it if the fetish was present in the relationship?
Honestly I don’t think so.
Small update, my psychiatrist knows now; I didn’t tell them, my therapist did. They also had never heard of it before. Consent forms were exchanged and signed.
This seems illegal unless you are like committed or something, like told them without ur consent is crazy.

I used to work at a doctors office and i couldnt send our records to a different doctor without the patients consent. That was hippa regulations so its definitely universal

Don’t work HIPAA forms were signed and exchanged. I edited the above comment (and this one for a spelling mistake)
HIPAA.
I have thought about it since I also feel like I have an instrusive obsession. If I thought about sex acts this often, I would be seeing a sex therapist! I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about burps, I wake up later thinking about burps. I think about burps in my downtime. I talk about it a lot here. I masturbate to them daily…
However, my therapist burps a lot, (but stifles them closed mouth) usually once a session. I also burp a fair bit around my other mental health practitioners too who are all in the same office (because I am burpy and sparkling water is a comfort drink) and I want them to keep burping (one of them burps out loud sometimes, the other jokes with me about my burps) and to not think that I am burping a lot purely because I have a fetish.
