I saw a therapist for a few years but the relationships became weird because of her sharing her personal life with me so I quit. Now she is my EX therapist and we are friends. We don't hang out but we talk/text a lot. She has shared so much with me and obviously she knows a ton about me. The problem is, I"m VERY attracted/obsessed with her. She has shared things with me that, according to her, she has not shared with others. What does that make me????? A sounding board for my therapist??? I SO want to connect with her on a deeper level. I logically know that this would be a very bad idea but the thoughts haunt me constantly. I can logically see she still has "power" over me but I have "power" too because the stuff I know could be ruin her. Of course, I would never do that... I struggle every day with how to maintain the relationship and how to take it one step further.
Tomorrow I am meeting with a new counselor and one of the issues I need to work through is my old counselor. Of course I can't use her name because the last thing I want to do is get her in trouble. I have a HORRIBLE track record with therapist... they have all become my friends. I'm not sure what that says about me
