I told my therapist about my feelings for him and we started cuddling in paid sessions. Another time, we had a little fondling. Then during a night session he asked me if I'd like him to be my prostitute instead of therapist. I recoiled, said no, and cried. Odd, I know, but we hugged and scheduled the next session. I came in and lay with him on the couch for a really long time. He wanted to have time for therapy and the rest too, so he scheduled again -- but then, out of the blue, he called me leaving voicemails for three days asking me to come over and spend the night. I came over, urged him to go back to his ex for heaven's sake, he said that was unlikely to happen, and we had sex. The next day, he dumped me.

A week later, he asked me to come spend the night again.

And it went like that for a really long time. A few months of back and forth. Until it ended in on his request for no contact.

And so here I am now I'm at PsychCentral forums, crazy as ever.

I live in Atlanta and thought, how do i know if it was just me or if he does this to others? Was it exploitation, or just a one-time thing. I may have my doubts, but I can get proof if I talk to another local person who has had the same experience -- if we have the same guy, then we know for sure it was exploitation.

Anyone in the area, does your therapist:
-- make sexual jokes
-- comment on your clothes
-- bring up body image, although it wasn't what you came in for
-- tell you he wants to have sex with you
-- have sex with you

I'm all ears and happy to talk or just listen. You can e-mail me, too.
