BigFish,Yes, my T has definitely flirted with me, and looking back, I often think she started this whole mess, that she was (and still is, often) seductive with me. I don't really think she did it consciously. But even if it's unconscious, it's irresponsible of her to allow herself to do it. When I think about it that way, sometimes I get mad, which seems healthy.
How've you been doing with all this since you posted the message below? Maybe we can help each other through this.

> That is indeed the question: what the **** do we do? I just spent an hour slumped on the floor crying about this. I read "In Session" and my therapist definately qualifies as seductive. I don't know if he knows he's behaving that way, but he is. He started it, but I like him so I haven't confronted him on it - I've let it go. Do you get the feeling that you've been flirted with? I have toyed with the idea of going in to my session tomorrow and telling him I quit. Get it over with. Rip the bandage off in one fell swoop. I tried that last week but somehow he cut me off before I got to the final "I'm thinking about not coming back." I might have to try again tomorrow. I don't know if I'll have the strength, though. At the moment, this is the only solution I can think of. It's extreemely painful. I hope, crushedout, that you have a smoother, more comfortable option. This is the only one that I can see for myself. And I have endlessly wondered if this is therapeutic. I've tried to see it that way to somehow put some distance between me and this d*mn crush - but it just doesn't make any sense. I wish it did.
