Upon the first time meeting with my T, it was obvious that there was a connection between the two of us. We have been having therapy for about a year now and it is going just fine. We have been open to one another about how we feel about each other, but have done a great job so far with not letting it get in the way of the therapy. I am able to separate the urges pretty well. I am a long time veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and dealing with some issues about loud noises and combat stress. I have two college degrees and a high IQ. We have not crossed the line with contact and when it comes time to get down to therapy, I get down to business so to speak. I am well versed in the issues involved between a T and a patient and have done extensive research on the topic. My problem is this, when we first met, the connection was obvious, and regardless of our current situation, we are two adults that are attracted to one another. In any other environment, we would have easily started dating at this point. I am not interested in getting my T in any trouble in any way, and have even talked about what would happen after two years when we did start to date? what would her department head think? It is a shame with all the changes going on around the world with people now such as a black president, more women rights, gay marriage approved by the supreme court now, female priest in church and yet when two people met under this condition, it is still considered taboo. I hope things might change one day to evaluate each case by case basis and give merit where it deserves.
