In reply to Having an affair with my therapist......, posted by anneofkana on May 5, 2007, at 10:25:46
Welcome to babble Anne, I hope you will like it when you get to know everyone.
THe only thing I know is that you are not alone with your situation. Their are even other babblers that have the same situation, some good situations and bad ones. My T even knows of many that have done it too in college and out of
college. It isn't rare, even if it goes against the rules. My T and I are probably in the begining stages of it , but I won't go into that on this site.The one thing about your DH , he could get angry and turn your T if he finds out about the affair. Even if you no longer see him professionally, he can still get into a lot of trouble, but I am sure you know that since you are in the field too. Actually anyone can turn him in, even his wife. You never know what an angry spouse would do or a friend trying to help you. That is why I am not talking about my situation, at least that part of it,
it anymore on this site, you never know what might happen or what people might do.I think you know your options, but there are no easy options. Is there more to your relationship other than attraction or physical stuff or is their emotional stuff too?
I am actually glad you posted, because it shows that T's are human too, and just because there are rules, they sometimes are not followed. I am a little surprised that your T acted on it, especially knowing you are in the same field, that sure was bold. But do I believe there can be true feelings both ways, and yes it can happen. My T always said that you can't help who you fall in love with. ;-)
Best wishes to you, I hope you post more, because I find it helpful since I can relate to a lot of it.
Thanks,
Happyflower
