Patient and therapist......uncomfortable postiion

[Anonymous]

OP, if this person is saying the things to you that you represent, and you are questioning whether there is a problem, I think you both need to (1) find a new therapist and (2) work with that person about being able to trust your own judgment and instinct. This is fairly obviously not appropriate or normal.

Another therapist here. He is totally out of line and could lose his license. Get a new therapist now. He gives therapists a bad name.

it's completely normal to have feelings for your therapist. it's completely abnormal for your therapist to act on these feelings and make suggestive comments, look at you inappropriately (staring at you suggestively) or cross boundaries in other ways (physically).

He could lose his license, this could be emotionally damaging for you.

Since you are not sure what is going on, I would bring up your concerns/feelings in session. how he responds to you and addresses your concerns will say a lot in terms of whether he is being inappropriate.

if you feel like you cannot work through this "transference" stuff with him, you should consider getting a new therapist.
good luck!

OP, I just read the actual comments your therapist has made to you. It's not good. he is not a good guy. I know it feels good and I understand, but he is narcissistic and he is abusing you. I know it doesn't FEEL that way, but that is what is happening. He is betraying you and taking advantage of the power deferential in the relationship and your vulnerability. I promise you, you are not the first person he has done this too. You are not special, you are a target. Please report this guy. PLEASE

We're sexual creatures, we crave sexual attention, and it feels great! It's hard to think about the future when you're aroused, but this relationship is going nowhere good. It doesn't matter if you look like Barbie- don't flatter yourself in thinking that you're the first patient this guy has come onto. Dodge this bullet and move on. His ex-wife seems to have figured him out pretty well...
