Dear Crushed: I've been reading your posts about your therapist for quite a while, and have wanted to respond but wasn't registered till recently. I really do feel that your T's behavior is not therapeutic (!). Dinah's right, the "sessions on credit" is another major red flag, especially added to the confusing signals she's sending in other areas. I think it's vitally important for you to arrange a consultation with another therapist and explain completely and honestly the
confusion you are experiencing in therapy. Please don't let money be an obstacle to this---it's just too important! Your well-being is too important! If you find you cannot bring yourself to speak to another therapist, then I think you really must bring this all out into the open with your T, discuss it fully. For one thing, bringing it out in the open will demystify it considerably, and your T's responses will give you a better sense of where she's coming from---
if she turns out to be as confused as you are by
your relationship, then I definitely think you should consider finding another therapist, as painful and as difficult as that may be. Please take care of yourself.
