OMG!!!!
My previous posts were in response to the earlier posts in this thread. I've just read the post about the 'open-ended' session with the body-work while his wife was out of town.
No question about it---That was definitely abusive on his part. Depending on where you are and how long it has been since that happened, you might be able to file an ethics complaint against him (there are statute of limitations you have to find out about). Of course, that process could be healing for you OR it could be really painful, so you'd have to think about whether it would be the right thing for you or not.
I am so sorry you had to go through that!
If the current therapist is giving you feelings of not being safe, you do not owe him anything in terms of having to go back for another session. You might need to pay for the session if you are cancelling suddenly, depending on his rules, but you don't have to go back. Only go back if you feel you need the closure or something.
How about seeing a female therapist?
