This is a very inappropriate suggestion from a therapist to a client who has a history of sexual abuse. There is no way I, as a client, would do that.

I don't want to judge his ethics based on this one suggestion since I don't know how he was working with you during these 6 years. But, ethics aside, I do question his competence.

It is a common knowledge in professional circles that even an innocent physical touch such as a hug should be considered with great precaution when working with victims of sexual abuse and that a therapist should think twice when deciding to allow such contact or not.

What your therapist had suggested would not even be entertained by most therapists. I don't see how any therapeutic value can be derived from re-enacting interactions between a perpetrator of sexual abuse and their victim in therapy. But I do see the big risk of re-traumatizing the client that would come with such re-enactment. I believe, the vast majority of therapists would have the same attitude towards this as I do based on my training and many years of my interactions with colleagues. Having been inside the professional community for many years I've never heard of any such therapeutic technique or method that your therapist is suggesting.

I can say again categorically that I would not go along with such suggestion as a client and I would strongly recommend any client not to go along with it.

Also, if I were you, I'd ask the therapist to give me a convincing rationale as to how this would help me and provide me with the source of information that talks about such method being employed in therapy.

I am sorry but what he suggested raises a strong suspicion in me that either he doesn't know what he is doing or there is something else going on in his mind that is not consistent with the purpose of therapy.
