Sharing magical practices with a therapist?

No psychosis, not currently in therapy, but have been for years for ADHD, sometimes depression, the typical on again off again pattern of an eating disorder, and bizarre shitty childhood stuff. I did share some of my practice with my therapist, but partly because she sort of figured it out because I was going blah blah blah ancestors blah blah harvest season blah blah candles or something, so we was like, "you seem very aware of natural cycles, are you a practicing witch?" so I had to be like. dang. yeah.

and it was cool, it was chill, it was no big deal. But I also only had conversations around the topic because I was bitching to one of my occultist friends about it, and how it's such an echo of the family dynamics that I'm the only one doing the ancestor work, and I resent that on some level, and I wanted to complain to my therapist about it, but I couldn't, OBVIOUSLY.

and he like, "why not? I talk to my therapist about my practice ALL the time. It's literally my job, too, how could I ever meaningfully talk around it?"

And he's into way weirder shit than I am so it gave my some perspective. The next time in my life I'm in talk therapy--I am sure there will be a next time--I plan to be more up front about it.
