I am a retired male suffered from anxiety and depression my whole life. Lost my son when he was 22 years old to a car crash. He was a U.S. Army Specialist and vet of the Iraq war. He was married to a woman that he met in the Army. Their first child was 7 weeks old when he passed away. He was about to be shipped back to Iraq. I had a very capable female therapist for years that helped me with my anxiety and depression and began helping me with my bereavement after my son's death. I had timidly attempted to advise her for quite a while that I had some degree of erotic transference for her. She did not acknowledge it. She began hugging me after our weekly sessions and my transference became very intense and troubling. When I finally told her outright that it was a problem for me (in a letter), she became very defensive and basically told me to find another therapist. That was earlier today. I feel confused, disappointed, relieved and sad.
