I felt like you were speaking directly to me, Ms. Lott. I'm going to take your suggestions. My therapy was so very intense for me, I could write a book about just what you're describing.. the therapist not knowing how to handle it, the client feeling more and more intensely and unable to leave, my God even after he practically threw me out of the office I came back, again and again and was phoning again and again.. that poor man allowed the phone calls to continue for many weeks, at one point he said it was all right, then he whittled it down to two a day that he would listen to, he was trying so hard to get out of it, but the fact is that he really WAS enjoying the attention, to tell you honestly I know damn well he got off on it and my own opinion is that he most likely gets off on it from most of his female clients. I can also say that he has a large number of female clients, more than I've ever seen coming and going from any other therapist's office .. now that might be a misrepresentation, because I've only spent a minimal amount of time in there, but the time I have spent I'd say most of his clients were female.. but I suspect that's really just the way it is everywhere, women being women and men being mostly men ... oh, dear.
