Hi Medusa,
Thanks for the reply. You're right--the boundaries are blurred. Moreso because she's not a licensed psychotherapist, she doesn't claim to do therapy. But she does do counseling, even for therapists, and no matter what she does it doesn't justify her behavior yesterday. And even if we were friends she wasn't being a very good one.I recently attempted short term therapy--I like the idea. But I've been hit with some financial problems that will prohibit the opportunity to pursue that further until I can start bringing in some money. So I've worked for this woman largely in trade for counseling. It's probably just another sick, enmeshed relationship that I don't want to face letting go of. Gee how out of character for me.
This is further complicated by her providing me the opportunity to start a business with no overhead. Maybe I'll have to let go of that idea as well, and pursue other options.
And the walls come tumbling down... It's like everything I counted on in my life is falling apart.
