I went through many of the same emotions I have seen on this board towards my ex-shrink. Feelings of love, dependency, even sexual attraction. Well I got my wish and those feelings were reciprocated, and it went to a physical level. Once he realized what he had done, he told me he could no longer treat or see me, gave me the name of another shrink, and I attempted suicide. I've written this story before on this board but I know many of you are new readers. I just say beware of the 'slippery slope', all those things listed by the psychologist? on the board that Dinah was on were very true. There is an inherent power imbalance, as a childhood abuse survivor we are wide open to this type of thing happening. I do have to add that this is the only time in the almost 20 years of different therapists that this has ever happened. take care, judy
