how should i bring up zoophilia and beastiality in therapy

Well this topic is probably not the best unless it is legal in your country. :D
 
There are therapist that specialize in the field. I saw it on a documentary.

I don't know if I could talk openly to a non-zoo even if it was their profession. Just imagine someone sitting in front of me saying something like " and how does that make you feel"?
 
If living in the US you should never discussed this type of stuff with a therapist. They are mandatory reporters. If you do discuss it there might be legal ramifications. Depending what you tell the therapist.
 
I mentioned it only to a psychologist and psychiatrist, but depends on who would understand it.
 
You can discuss feelings and desires without revealing encounters. Your thought process is too linear to discuss this issue with a spacial thinker. This will be the last time I correct you. ?
 
To be honest, don't tell them about it. They are just people (biased too) and may act on it in a negative way. Another problem is that they write most significant things down. Written things have a way of finding its way back out into the world (imagine being in a lawsuit unrelated to this stuff, and they request your file, or there is a break in, or a data leak if digital). Its best not to bring this specific topic up.

For most of us, this lifestyle/kink is not really a source of shame, regret or distress - usually a small amount of guilt early on but the mind quickly reconciles it away. So if you feel a little bit stressed about it, talk to us on this forum, take a deep breath in nature (regularly), and try to be gentle with yourself and accept yourself. You are not doomed to hell, you are not a monster or a freak or whatever. Just a human, with human urges, and that is beautiful and okay in its own way! There are so many of us, you are not alone.

And keep in mind, life is short, don't spend the little time & energy you have on locking yourself away from yourself. Embrace it.
 
Kind of thing has been bugging me too. Been seeing a therapist for a while now, and while we've made some progress, it always feels like I'm holding things back. Makes progress hard.

"Just to talk about something?" The question that then begs to be asked is why in the world did you go there in the first place?
BUT, that's way too personal, so I won't ask. Something to talk about? Gee, anything but zoo! Even if your zoo is bothering you, you still can't talk to him about it. There are some states (I don't know which) in which doctor-patient confidentiality may not be protected in the instance of zoo or anything else illegal.

Thank you for those words. Appreciated.
I discovered bestiality porn at far too young of an age (single digit age) to understand what it was but it planted a seed within me. In my teens I got into riding and would help out on the yard in return for rides. I loved the smell and feel of the horses and I was good at it. It wasn’t until a big grey mare lifted her tail and squatted to pee whilst I was grooming her in the box that my hormones went off the charts...
I knew that I could never tell anyone about what I was experiencing and my lonely journey began.
Approaching 50 now and I have always felt guilty and ashamed about it.
 
You could straight up say it, but do keep in mind that the therapist might not react positively at all

Goddamn that was beautiful. And as a Christian I’ve really had to reconcile with that part of myself lol
