In reply to Hi, I'm new here...and confused about my therapist, posted by stellabystarlight on April 6, 2008, at 18:56:22
I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, but welcome to babble and thanks for sharing with us.
I think it's no wonder you are confused.
His statement " I thought about leaving therapy and he has begged me not to. He said losing me would put him in a deep state of depression and he very much cares about me and just can't bare losing me." comes very very close to malpractice in my opinion.
It's so hard though, it sounds like your T is saying all the things that most of us, at some point in our therapy, would have loved to hear, but what does your gut feeling tell you?
Are you comfortable when he says these things? Do you feel responsible for the way he feels?
Frankly, my gut tells me something is amiss here, but the question is "how do you feel about it?"
Once again welcome.
