Most people think of harmful therapy as involving some obvious transgression or act. For me it was subtle but insidious emotional seduction, followed by multiple rejections then abandonment. There was a dual relationship but it was hard to spot and almost seemless. This is almost worse because if no overt violation occurs, basically nobody cares.

I could not see clearly when in the middle of it. Too consumed by the euphoria to see that T was leading me into a trap. She had drawn out my deepest longings and was feeding on them.
