Here is the excerpt:
This isn't the same as stalking and obsession, which can be psychotic or related to borderline, and I don't think even considered to be ET. (Which happened to me outside of therapy by a nontherapist leaving me with ptsd). |
Not sure what you mean by saying it's 'not the same as stalking or obsession' - absolutely malignant eroticised transference often plays out that way. Not all such behaviour is a result of malignant transference and not all malignant transference results in such behaviour, but there is plenty of crossover.
It's by nature delusional since the client refuses to accept the realities of the therapeutic relationship (or, in fact, their therapist's lack of reciprocal attraction) and insists that their 'love' must be gratified.
