How should I discuss my sexuality with my therapist?

Therapists normally don't judge, so I would just bring it up like you would with any other person. Kind of just 'hey. I'm not straight'.

Just be yourself, don't be afraid. Try starting with your feelings then go onto the sexuality. Stay calm, stay true, and stay you.

Bring it up as you would any other issue and tell them that there's been something on your mind that you'd like to discuss. You can even slip it into your normal discussion at first (for example, as a lesbian, I'd casually mention there was a girl at school who I had a crush on). Discussing something as personal as sexuality can be strange and uncomfortable at first, but if your therapist is open and accepting, it should become much easier as time goes on and can help you sort things related to it out.
