Seeking Stories of Clients in Love with Therapists

Posted by Lauren0722 on October 28, 2009, at 7:55:29

I am currently in therapy for almost a year and in love with my therapist. I have been seeking support, literature, anything to try and cope with what can be a very lonely and heartbreaking place.

A friend of mine and I are working on co-authoring a book that I think could help countless numbers of men and women feel less alone in feelings of transference or simply deep engagement and attraction.

We are looking for your stories, anonymously of course, but the stories must be real and brutally honest.

I can be reached at lauren0722@yahoo.com or my website at www.inlovewithyourtherapist.com

I want to be clear that we are not looking to blast or condemn or put down these men or women who have genuinely helped us thru some tough issues - we love them as they love us - but it is a hard place to be in when you ride the wave of extreme elation the day you know you will see them to such sadness when your time with them is up.

Our promise is that this book is to help, to let others know they are not alone as we all have stories, even our therapists, who also struggle with feelings for their clients.

Please consider emailing us or using our form from our website and telling us your story. You will not find judgment from us or advice, rather an understanding set of ears from two women who have probably felt and gone thru all the things you have been thru as well.

How about therapists who struggle with feelings ABOUT their clients (whom some therapists have the gall to call "patients" while they turn the other cheek and neglect their responsibility....) (Oh no, I'm not bitter, who me, me??? No. Just a bit .. crazy .. and a lot sad...)
feelings ABOUT their clients (patients) that then are transferred directly onto that guileless, childlike person a therapist purports to be helping.. "helping" ... giving "therapy" .. giving heartache and more pain than some can manage, apparently.
