By chance---does your therapist go by the name of manic666? I'm sorry you found it hurtful---but perhaps he just feels comfortable enough with you to let down his guard --to be on that level. I certainly possess no skills to discern beyond just being a male trying to read objectively. As long as it doesn't progress towards being suggestive-it wouldn't bother me. But women, especially those who have been victims of abuse and/or those who feel vulnerable, are particularly sensitive to anything that remotely puts their emotions at risk. If it continues to make you uncomfortable after due thought--you bet I'd tell him. It's your mental health on the table--not his. As long as he's being paid for his services--he should conduct himself in a manner that becomes his profession. I should shut up! I know there's a reason I don't post here on psychology--I'm frightened by the prospect that someone will be influenced by the ramblings of a madman! Good luck--that's what I should have said. :)
