concerns about my relationship w/my therapist

OMG pbutton! I love it!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

I recently told my T that when he opens the office door and then disappears into the office next door to give me room to pass, it bugs me. As I'm walking up the hall, I can't see him until I pass the other office. He hasn't done it since. He hadn't realized it would bother anyone.

Isn't it? I'm crying! I'm laughing! Each time! I can't stop looking at it...

OMG Pbutton!!! Love it!! I'm so saying that the next time someone tries to hug me

Ewww. If I screwed around with my psych, it would be like having "angry-sex!" Shite...that may be the only thing to come, of therapy.

Pish, wäre er nicht der erste sein.

then ..need more feedback: the last session we had, this past Thursday:

she said "hi babydoll, how are you? ive got some really cool activites planned for us today sweetheart!"

me: oh okay?" sounds good...

she sat so close to me i couldnt even move my legs..then when i left she gave me a big hug, slid her hand down my shoulder, sorta touching my hair and gave me a kiss on the head "bye sweetie , see you next week! ...like okay?! more feedback plz??

Snowflake did you tell her that it made you uncomfortable? They aren't mind readers no matter how much we think they are.

You need to say something!

Is it possible to just move away (even if it means moving an overstuff chair), or sitting wtih your knees up to put a barrier between you adn her) to give her a non-verbal clue that you aren't comfortable wtih this.
I know that's not very direct. I'm a fan of using indirect messages sometimes. I don't know if this is one of those situations.
Or maybe referring to her as Dr., or Ms. or Mrs. (whatever title she uses) - that may be a bit too awkward, but perhaps not even addressing her at all, and not using her 1st name.
And maybe reaching for a heartfelt handshake at the end of the session?
Just thinking. I know I would be hesitant to ask someone if they were implying some connection that was more than I wanted. It's so easy to deny and then I look stupid (even if it's not true, and it's hard to tell if it is or isn't true), and they have more power, knowing they can play it. But sometimes it works too. Just brainstorming here.

It sounds like she is dealing with a child in daycare. It makes me uncomfortable from over here. Activities like what, coloring? It's just befuddling. And her terms of endearment are hair-raising. I would get a cross and fast...Buffy the Vampire Slayer-style, I mean. And maybe a wooden stake.
But truly, you have to say something to her or else you just need a new T...this is just so weird though that I am finding it hard to advise you.

typically, Ts, or at least the good ones, will ask you before touching you at all as they know not all clients would be comfortable or even want this. this seems quite unprofessional behavior to me and kind of sketchy to be honest. if you don't say something it will most likely continue so you need to speak up or just get a new T. personally, i'd get a new T as calling a client "babydoll", kissing your head, etc. shows a real lack of boundaries on her part.

bottom line: trust your gut.
