Seeing My Therapist In Dating Site
6/13/2022
We are just dating, I am not seeing them for therapy, but I disclosed to them that I’m currently in therapy with someone else. Can the dating partner, being a therapist themselves, contact my. Instead, most men see female therapists because there aren’t enough male therapists to choose from. Indeed, guys tend to prefer male therapists if given the choice. “A lot of men don’t want a nurturing mother to be their therapist and tend to be more practical problem solvers, and they want a guy that’s going to match him in that.
No face, no case.

Can You Date Your Therapist
I feel so helpless.
Background:
My dear friend has dealt with a lot of mental health issues and has attempted suicide twice. She started seeing a therapist two years ago who really seemed to help her. She was like a new person and she said it was all because of this great therapist she was seeing.
Well it all came crashing down in April. She called me hysterical saying that her therapist told her he can't help her anymore. She was mess. It was bad, guys. I had to call her mom and she flew out here from the east coast because we were all afraid she was going to try to kill herself again. She finally broke down and told me that she was in love with him a few weeks later. She told me she was seeing this man 3 times a week, going broke paying for copays all because she was obsessed and had to see him. After about a year of therapy, she told him how she felt. He told her 'We can't be together. You know that. BUT WE CAN HOLD HANDS AND YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL.' Yes, you read that right. I guess they were holding hands during therapy and talking like friends more than a patient and doctor for months. After all that time playing with her heart and gaslighting her, he told her he could no longer be her doctor. He told her the relationship wasn't appropriate and he can't help her. Thats what caused the breakdown. I've urged her to sue him, report him, basically do anything to make him pay for what he did but she won't do it. I almost lost her for calling her mom, so I didn't report him myself. She'd hate me.
Tonight:
My friend invited me and my boyfriend to dinner tonight. She sounded so cheerful on the phone and we were happy to see her. So, we get to the restaurant and see she has a date. The date is the f*cking therapist. Of course, I didn't recognize him, I had never seen a picture. However, his name sounded familiar. I let it go, we're enjoying appetizers, and my boyfriend asks the guy what he does for a living. The moment he told us that he's a therapist it clicked. I swear to god I choked on my chip. I started shaking with rage. I looked at my friend and I didn't have to say a word. Her face said it all. I couldn't believe it. I turned to my boyfriend and said, 'He the therapist.' I don't remember getting up or walking out, but I found myself outside on the patio. (Smart idea with this damn wind.)
My friend came out begging me to come back and give him a chance. 'It's totally okay! He hasn't been my therapist in months! I'm so happy!' All I could do is stare at her in pity because she's so lost. I thought she was doing better, but she's worse than ever.
Meanwhile, my boyfriend looked like he was ready to fight him. He doesn't know her very well and we weren't together yet when everything went down, but he remembered how hard the ordeal was on me. I have always been an emotional sponge for her. We've been friends for many years and I remember how she used to be. It's hard to accept how sick she is and that she may never get better. Her father was largely absent and he died shortly after they became close. Everything has been a mess since. Anyway, my boyfriend and the asshole started shoving each other and we ended up being asked to leave.
She called and told me she'll never talk to me again if I call her mom or report him. I don't know what to do. And I don't know why I'm telling LSA this, but I can't tell any of our other friends. He is going to break her down. What kind of sicko does this? Theres no way this is allowed. I want his license, PhD, every damn thing taken away. I've known her for 18 years. I just don't know what to do.
