Thanks so much for your reply. I feel like if I don't have an opportunity to discuss this situation with XX and try to work toward some closure with her, it's going to mess me up for a looooooooong time to come. I miss her so much, yet I want to ask her, "How could you do this to me???" I try to keep this whole thing off my mind as much as possible, but it's very difficult, seeing as how I'm an obsessive-type personality, among other things.
You're right - XX is the professional and I believe she acted unprofessionally/unethically with me, and I think she could use some more therapy herself. I think it would be terrific to attend some therapy sessions together with her, seems like that could be very helpful to both of us. But I haven't had any contact with her since 9/14/07 and as much as I'd like to show up at the partial hospitalization program, or her home, and talk to her, I know that's completely inappropriate and would likely get me into some serious trouble, which I don't need. So I won't be doing either of those things.
Don't know what to do. Taking a hundred or so Seroquel tablets seems like a lovely solution, but I keep not doing that. I don't even know why.
> dancinbillie, I can offer no legal help only to say I am so sorry this happened to you and how confusing for you as well. It also makes me want to try and protect myself in my therapy as I move forward.

> I wonder if there is a way to protect ourselves. You admit you only had the most innocent feelings and yet you got hurt. It makes me wonder if not she was the one that crossed the line in her mind and made you the scapegoat. it is scary to think that. And now to make you feel like you feel. well I think she should be sanctioned and have a professional injuction that at least says she needs to take a refresher course or go into therapy herself for a while. Because after all she is the professional the one that should know when a patient has crossed the line(and when they are just confused) and I think for her to put her "I am uncomfortable feelings" in the forefront before the wellbeing of a patient well then the hospital should have sessions with another therapist present with you and her until you are well enough to go it alone or transition to another therapist. But that is just my humble opinion of which they didn't ask for.
