e-mails from my former T. please note the subtle manipulation. this is what therapy abuse looks like. its not black or white. its hidden between things like promises and hope.

this is majorly triggering. read at your own risk.

Possible trigger:

Not much subtle about them. Glad he is an ex.

This is beyond egregious. I'm infuriated for you.

And to think you started seeing him when you were 16??? I still can't believe he wasn't jailed for this.
Thanks for this!

Were you seeing his as a T in his office as well during the time when he wrote these? I can't imagine how that could be possible, even superficially.

The subtilties were very present in the beginning. Not so much near the end.

What specifically isn't illegal? Sex with patients?

I guarantee you there is at least one law on your state's books that he broke, even if it's an outdated but not removed law on adultery or acceptable sexual positions/acts.

Did he terminate you as a client because he knew what he was doing was wrong? How did he explain the termination?

Ugh, the things he was saying to you are so gross and disturbing coming from someone who was supposed to be your therapist and supposed to be helping you. I am so sorry that you ended up running into someone who exploited you like this.
Thanks for this!

I don't remember how he explained it. Yes he knew it was wrong. He would talk about how he had to compartmentalize it... "what I'm doing with you"

But by that point we had Been having sex for 1.5 years as therapist/client.

We would have sessions then afterwards have sex right there in his office.

I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be a therapeutic/useful idea to put all of our sick and dysfunctional correspondence in one place as a warning tool to others who still have the chance to get out before it goes stealth crazy. I have hundreds of e-mails and texts as well, as I imagine many here do....

That is why I posted these. To warn others and show them what it actually can look like. And how it's not hot and naughty and romantic and glamorous.

It's pain and loneliness and depression And self hate.

It is not worth it people

Thank you for sharing these.
I hope it helps.

I don't have emails or letters but if we decide to group these together, I can repost the redacted news article of PerpDoc's arrest for exploiting this other client.
Thanks for this!

This is what intimacies with the client can look like for the therapist-

OMG, that article is so heartbreaking. What kind of person would look at a domestic violence victim who is trying to get help and think that instead of helping her that it's an opportunity to sexually assault her??? It really shows that therapists who act like this are predators.
Thanks for this!

I know what you mean. Why chose clients at all? Why not have an affair with a colleague, a waitress, a neighbor?

He was my psychiatrist.

The 'alleged' assault on the woman in the article happened a year to the month after his 'alleged' intimacies (and 'alleged' assault) with me.

She was 19yo.

He knew it was a felony by the time of his arrest. I looked it up after our encounters and told him so right there in his office.

His arrest convinced me I had been exploited. Until then, I thought maybe he was a good man who made a mistake. I cared about him.

I found a therapist who knows a lot about therapist/client exploitation and I wouldn't even tell her his name. I didn't know what might happen and I didnt want him to go to jail. He has family.

I learned I was the second of seven to come forward after his arrest. That was no mistake.
I learned I didn't cause anything bad to happen to him, he did.
His actions did.

And I'm still furious.

A feeling of power over client/patient. An inability to handle relationships with perceived equals like colleagues. A thrill sought from knowing what they are doing is wrong, and they can still do it and maybe even get away with it.

Why keep doing it? So egotistical they believe they won't be caught, because they are smarter/better/luckier than everyone else.

It sounds like this man had full-blown NPD and you were being treated like an object while being told that you weren't being treated like an object.

Right there and beside you all the way. I have not found a therapist capable of taking it on - so I am trying to make peace with the reality that this is my life. It happened. It was a 15 year chunk of my life that is lost and I will never have retribution or closure. Time does help.

My former T was cautious but not enough.

He made special plastic coverings for his office windows to block the light from inside showing on the outside. He refused to go into a store with me once.

However the first night we had sex... He walked in the waiting room after his last client left and kissed me so hard It honestly shocked me.he also would stay "at work" til 10 sometimes 11pm
