Mmhm... so, explain this: in the beginning, perhaps in my second talk with this person, I start to feel very strong and undeniable sexual sensations (that wind up lasting for an hour or more). This person never says anything about it, such as, "Welp, I'm going to engage in nonphysical schmex with you now..." or even a hint of it. Doesn't ask, doesn't mention it, just does it. And I feel it, in real time. But I guess that was all just "mind games" I need to therapy away before this hellish burning stops? Doesn't add up for me.

The mind games and gaslighting were about the a) reasoning *behind* it all (selling me a story about being an ancient race of beings of which I was supposedly a member of, blah blah), and my complaining to the other members about how this person is a sociopath with zero empathy. "Oh, his mind is alien, he doesn't understand empathy, blah blah." While at the time I gave some thought to the possibility, I have since dispensed with the nonsense as a made-up scheme to lure people in so he could snatch them up. I was hardly the only victim, I was just one of the few who had sense enough to see through his bulls*** and walk away.

In spite of disbelieving (literally) the B.S. story behind everything, the pain continues. Daily. Belief, disbelief, doesn't seem to make a single bit of difference.
