ocd,
Thanks for your story. I have experienced erotic transference with my therapist, and thankfully he has remained completely professional. We still struggle with the issue but at least I feel safe that he has very strong boundaries. Safety is being established in our relationship which I trust will have benefits going forward. I am slowly seeing the benefits of experiencing transference but only because my T is so skilled. You and your ex-wife's experience, however, sounds nightmarish. I find it hard to believe that she and the predator therapist have a healthy relationship now. Reality can never live up to the transference fantasy, don't you think?
