If it feels more like a friendship than a therapeutic relationship, then that's a huge warning sign. Friends don't take money from you to listen to you pour out your heart. Friends are just there for free. He's supposed to be a professional not your friend. He's not supposed to be using your therapy sessions (or txt messaging you) to talk about his family situation. He should be doing that with his own therapist on his own dime.

That's how our relationship got out of whack. He started by giving me his email address, and his cell phone, and on and on and on. We joked around a lot, we became more and more like close friends. Please, please be careful.

I'm editing this because I realized after I posted, that I probably came across a little harsh. Just take care of you.
