No, it didn't just happen. I think I would have raced out of there if he coldly initiated something.

Now, looking back, I can see he manipulated me with grooming behaviors- seeing me as last patient of the day, full body hugs lasting longer than they should have, sexual innuendos, unbuttoning my shirt to listen to my heart, asking me details about sexual fantasies. He would call in the evening on his own and say cryptic things, then not explain what he meant. I remember one phone call- he phoned and after some small talk he said, "I want to ask you something. I think I know the answer but,...." and he wouldn't elaborate. I asked him what he was talking about and made a few guesses... I didn't guess correctly. It bothered me for days.

We actually discussed the meeting. He scheduled it. He said it was part of therapy to help "get me out there" in the dating world. Then he told to me to come to the office at a certain time. It happened at his office. My insurance paid for it.

Over time it just didn't feel odd.
