I don't know, I didn't consider that. Because those situations always seem to be about being in love witht the therapist. And I'm not. It is almost completely maternal, this attachment. And I was pretty good at staying away from those posts that triggered my fears.
But I have a good friend who was sleeping with her therapist and it ended ugly, with me taking her to the ER after a suicide attempt. This was a couple of months ago. So maybe I was set off and it stayed just out of range.
Mostly I think it is this huge retrigger about getting my needs met and that there is always a price to pay. I need therapy. I need my therapist. I need my privacy. But being fully confronted with how deep this need is makes me face the question - how far would I go to get this need met?
What doesn't help is to look up "sex and therapy" on the internet. Mostly it tells things like if you've experienced csa you are a problem for therapist because you are easily revictimized. *sigh*
