@Bird33 it pains me to know of the abuse you suffered. I can’t even begin to understand how the relationship with your ex therapist must have stirred up all of those feelings.
I read about erotic transference. That really messes with your head. Spot on. You’re right.
I reached out to her. I...
@Bird33 I’m sorry, I thought your experiences were consensual and part of the nice memories you had with her. My heart hurts for you.
It concerns me that I would be willing to do anything to be with her including being unfaithful. I’ve always been faithful to my husband. Did you feel jealous? I...
@Bird33 I believe you. Because I swear to you. Everything you’ve written is my experience. Forgive me for bringing this up, but you had a few sexual encounters. Am I correct? You see.. I want her so badly.. at least you’ve had her. Geeze I can’t believe I just wrote that. I am married and I’ve...
@Rumors thank you for your comment. I will answer it truthfully. I do not believe she is a threat to another person. I am a protector by nature and would never allow this to happen to anyone else. I believe she made a mistake with me very early in her career and has been paying for it since that...

@Muted I understand everything you’ve written. I know how you feel. I too feel responsible for my part in my story with my ex therapist. I want to protect her. She loves me and I love her. She gets me too. We have tried very hard to have a “normal” relationship. But somehow something always goes...
@Bird33 Thank you for responding. It has been such a lonely road for me. 10+ years. I feel as though I can’t share my story with anyone. Who’s going to understand transference and countertransference, the damage that taking our relationship outside of that safe havens that was her office has...
@Bird33 I’m sorry to jump into this thread. Forgive me. I’ve read your post about your relationship with your ex therapist. You are writing about my life and all I want to do is cry. I can’t believe There’s someone else out there like me.
