I agree with Penny. If you feel that forgiving him will help you move past the hurt, then I think it is good to do.
I don't think that you should change your actions, though, even if you do forgive him. I think that seeing him either professionally or personally would hurt you.
You also need to recognize that he violated the boundaries that were set up. That says to me that he has not learned that boundaries need to be respected.
I hope that you will talk about this with your new therapist.
Good luck.
