I


Ok. I understand. You do not want to have any further contact with me, unless it's mediated by another therapist.


I truly hope that you have sought further consultation about what happened between us. I still feel that you badly mismanaged your countertransference. This is understandable, you are human after all. But that understanding doesn't negate the pain that I've experienced over the past months. I need you to know how damaging this has been for me. I also wish you had the courage to acknowledge your mistakes, the ones at the end, to me.


Please be careful with your clients. Please be aware of the power you hold. Don't forget that people trust you with their lives, and that that is not a responsibility to be taken lightly.


If you are unwilling to do this, I would appreciate you letting me know your willingness to speak with candor about your own experience in a final joint session. I can't yet bear the idea of never seeing you again, and if it has to be on your terms, I'd like to at least know the full extent of those terms.
