I don't know. . .at the risk of sounding like the devils advocate here, I guess what concerns me most of all is that he is so incredibly OPEN with you about his own issues. Ethical issues abound here. While I take issue with him telling you that YOU make him feel a certain way, the entire situation *might* be an example of a deeper relationship with therapists gone awry. I've noticed that we tend to elevate our T's and pdocs to this level of near perfection; we want to know that they think of us outside of therapy, we want them to encourage our feelings for them, etc. At times, that can be beneficial, and I'm not saying this is the case here. . .but like the other thread about "red flags" it seems perhaps there may be warning indicators prior to a disolving relationship in therapy. What you're experiencing *might* be those flags.

I know what I've written here is not popular and I'm sorry if I've hurt any feelings. But, it raises the concern that a pdoc considers his client to be "dangerous" or is it the relationship that is dangerous?

anyway, that's my two cents. . .
