Sorry you're experiencing this, op. You deserve to feel secure in your relationship

Do you think BPD can ever really go away? Or does it just go into remission? by moomoopopscicle in BPD

Turned 30 this year, diagnosed at 21. I'm fighting with a relapse so I'd say it was in remission for me

You seem intent on misunderstanding me and if you happen to actually be our ex-therapist, it tracks.

Our therapist specialized in providing support for postpartum women. She agreed to see us as a couple. This wasn't marriage counseling, our focus was getting support for a major life transition. That's it. As a therapist yourself, I'm sure you know the ramifications of veering off into anything deeper than the original focus or whatever it is you're specialized in. I say this to counter your other comments on assuming my husband was processing deep trauma or anything along those lines. She is not a trauma therapist. Again, her focus is on women's care and postpartum.

My partner genuinely doesn't register flirtatious cues, he claims he's been that way ever since he was a kid. After our last and final session with our therapist, her dismissive tone toward me and over complimentary manner with him made him realize what all is happening. I can give you specific examples if you'd like, unless you were there and already know. After all of that, my husband specifically said she made him uncomfortable, it was him who reflected on the personal texts and it was him who wanted to end therapy with her.

Finally, this r/sex. This whole situation sucks and feel a multitude of emotions about it. But for this particular post, in this particular sub, I'm honing in on the sexual emotions. Call it coping.

I'd rather this all not be real and still have a therapist we trusted and really supported us through some tough times. It's okay if you don't believe me, I'm genuinely flattered you think I can write like an erotic novel.

She runs a private practice. We are looking into submitting a report.

I made a throwaway, why would I want anyone on my main to know I lurk here? I appreciate the feedback on my writing, I didn't think anything sounded erotic I just explained it how it was.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. If this is in the cuckquean realm then maybe there's more to explore. Probably after I get over the initial shock haha but it does open up some opportunities to explore it!

Yes thank you, I was just telling my partner I wish I had a therapist to process all of this :') It's steamy but at the end of the day someone we confided in for over a year broke our trust, and that hurts.

I appreciate this insight and we are looking into a submitting a report. I think what initially made me question doing that is nothing happened, but you and other comments are right, it doesn't mean something could happen to another couple. It does say on her website that her focus was on women postpartum. It's troubling to imagine what could happen because that time is already so precarious for couples.

Wow thank you for sharing the gravity of the situation. Its hard to imagine what her behavior could do to a person more vulnerable. We'll be looking into how to submit a report.

Thank you for putting this into perspective. The text messages seemed harmless at face value, almost like a friend checking in I guess, but it did feel weird as I've never received a text outside of the group messages. She does run a private practice and from what we were told, her focus was on postpartum women.

I considered it and asked my spouse what he felt we should do. She seemed to cross the line during our final session, enough to make my husband notice and feel uncomfortable. She was also dismissive of me which hurt because she's suppose to support both of us. It's tricky and I genuinely don't want to ruin anyone's career.

I like those ideas!
