Hi Anton,

You've been going through a huge amount - I'm sorry for all that pain, and that this situation is stressing your system even more, just when you really need a peaceful refuge. I'm glad at least that you feel confidet of your T's boundaries.

It's probably true that not every client/T relationship ends badly. I noticed this in one of the articles AG posted:
"Pope and Vetter published a national study of 958 patients who had been sexually involved with a therapist. The findings suggest that about 90% of patients are harmed by sex with a therapist; 80% are harmed when the sexual involvement begins only after termination of therapy."

So it's probably true that there are a small percentage of clients who get through this without getting harmed (the study doesn't say whether the relationships worked out or not). I just know that if I were interested in a medication or an activity or something and it turned out to harm 90% of the people who took it, I wouldn't want to try my chances.

I wish you the best with it - let us know how things develop.
