Therapist aroused by probing my fantasies?

Postby dm46 » Wed Dec 29, 2021 5:58 pm

I recently opened up to a therapist about an embarrassing naughty dream I had.
I didn't plan to but in the course of conversation it just came up and I confessed it to her.
Now she keeps revisiting the topic and probing it deeper, asking me to expand on details etc.
I'm starting to wonder if she's getting off on it.
She reassured me there's nothing to be embarrassed about and dreams can be strange and confusing etc so from that perspective she has helped somewhat.
But I keep coming out of sessions feeling aroused and making little progress with anything else.

A few weeks ago, she asked me if I'd dreamt about it again and seemed almost disappointed I hadn't.
So last time when she asked I lied and said I had, just to see if I could push all her buttons and give her what she likes to hear.
It was somewhat amusing but not what I'm paying for so don't think I'll be seeing her again.
I only hope I can trust her to keep them secret in a relatively small town.

You are using the therapy all wrong. Concentrate on your recovery. Don't play games with the therapist or your sessions.

As she is a professional and is under HIPAA regulations, what is disclosed in therapy, stays in therapy records.
It is not discussed outside the professional team.

Best of luck to you. :)

Of course in an ideal world, all therapists are professional but in the real world...

The main point of my post is that my instincts caused me some doubt around her professionalism.
She seems to be interested in only one (sexual) topic and constantly steers back towards it every time.

Ok maybe I shouldn't have played games but part of me was just testing my theory, to see if she was aroused by it as I suspected she was.

I confessed a rather 'taboo' fantasy to her and she seems to be into it.
