I would like to make a suggetion to ElaineM in seeking out a new therapist. Elaine, it may seem overwhelming to you to cut off a relationship with your current T and allow time to search for another. As a way to tide any anxiety you would feel (I certainly know I would feel anxious), perhaps you could begin to interview or meet with a new therapist before you terminate with the current one. This may raise issues with honesty, conflicts of interest, etc., but it seems to be a safe way for you to maintain a feeling of support while you axe this other T. My observations and comments are made only out of concern for you and a frank anger that your current therapist has allowed such a deterioration of propriety, professionalism, and boundaries, with only YOU liable to be hurt by it. And maybe seeing 2 therapists for a short time wouldn't constitute a conflict of interest since it really isn't therapy you are receiving from him at this point!
I am afraid of coming off in a bad way, but have great concern for your situation. Fall Girl
