i came out to my therapist as a minor attracted adult because i was having anxiety about if i would ever act on those thoughts, and she took it really well!
she understands that for me, its a trauma response due to being hurt sexually hurt as a child, and she wants to help me find ways to cope with the anxieties i face around the thoughts :)
and she told me if im ever getting into the idea of actually acting on those thoughts, i could tell her and she would help me to find coping mechanisms to prevent harming someone, and that she wouldn't report me unless i actually did something yay :) (i had big anxiety about being reported for thoughts that i havent acted on)
This is paraphilic joy!! I'm glad your therapist is supporting you, from one map to another, you deserve to feel safe and unashamed for your thoughts!!! Always remember that thoughts aren't equal to action, and have pride in yourself!!!
