Okay, I am going to speak my mind. There has been CLEAR situations discussed on PC where it is 100% unethical stuff T's are doing. I KNOW because my old T was one of them.
If anyone is sensitive to that, IT IS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone visited the other forum in psychotherapy???? Now there are some examples of this definitely there. If we are going to have a whole board on this type of thing of having romantic feelings for our T, then there needs to be better guidelines on what is acceptable responses to that. Because if there are clients in love with their T's, there is going to be T's in love with their clients and unethical things happening.... Maybe some stickys on the top, with articles concerning this and what to do about it.
I guess it comes down how and what is considered support. Yes, I feel it is okay to say you see red flags. I am glad people told me because it gave me the info 2yrs ago to fire my T because he was unethical.
But if I got the responses that Dreamseeker did on something so mild compared to other stuff that has been shared on PC, I would have left the site and felt very judged and unsupported.
That is the exact opposite of what needs to happen. We need to support those who may or may not be in unethical relationships with their T's because they will need the support either way.
Stating conflicting opinions more than once against a posters original views to me is being verbally abusive in itself to that other poster especially when you can tell that person is getting distressed from it. There is no need for this bully behavior even if it is clear the situation is unethical. This doesn't help the poster, only makes them go away when it is support they need more than ever.
I have followed Dreamers story for a long time and I see no red flags if you look at the entire history of the relationship.
Dreamer is a valued member here and someone who needs our support and quite frankly has been a huge supporter to me and others. I am deeply sadden by this.
I would like to hear from the owner of this site about this. No member should be harassed and made to feel so bad that they have to leave. ,
I have been a member for over 3 years, and if that kind of stuff happened to me, I would leave too.
