I have just given 4 months to a therapist to work on issues of sexual abuse from my mother and a therapist as a teenager, and only recieved another experience of anger.
I was recently given a book " The Road Less Traveled" by Dr. Peck to read about transferrance mapping and see a paralell between spiritual and emotional growth. But about half way through 318 pages of text there was a paragraph given to client therapist sexual relations. In it Dr. Peck states his dedication to his clients by saying that if he ever had a client who would benefit from a sexual relation he would ceratinly have her.
What a damned trigger!
Now when I want ot examine my personal history including sexual encounters the therapist refuses ot provide any personal level of experience to gauge myself by. All I have is a Preacher who states premarital sex is an abomination and his personal sucdess stands as testiment to his integrity. Or the Oprah Winfrey show that states the American average is to have sex with 14 different individuals over the course of their life.
Is there any way I can gauge this in a SAFE theraputic setting?
I give up. I want to give completly up, and am caught in this spiral and cannot get free.
Someone, Please Help.
I will consider providing my e-mail address if someone is willing to help me, if it could be more direct.
