Occipital,

I am glad for your sake that you no longer have contact with him. What he did to you was abusive mentally, emaotionally and sexually. It goes against everything therapy is about!
You should have been able to express your feelings for him and talk about it, as many clients do with their therapists but what he did was to use this to meet his own needs.

He can and would be sacked and stricken off as a therapist if you reported this to the counselling body he is registered with - i think this is really what you should do!
In the relationship he has to be the rational one to make the right decisons - he didnt do that. He sought you out.

Its almost like a parent abusing their child, no matter what the child does the parent has to be the one to make sure the child is safe. You dont need anyone elses case to prove what happened was abuse - it was.

Even if you went into your session naked and asked him for sex - it is his ethical, moral and professional duty to say no and to make sure you are safe. There is no doubt on this

I am so sorry you had to experience this! he deserves to be reported!
Thanks for this!
chlorophyll
