Problems with my Therapist

I've left my old therapist (the one that was hitting on me). She thought it would be in my best interest. So I (abit reluctantly) agreed to it. I find it too odd to have a relationship with her. I keep seeing her as a friend and someone I am somewhat dependent on (I admit it okay!).
Now my new therapist seems to be doing the same. Shes treats me nice and all and have done favours for me that isnt really part of her job discription (like my first therapist) but I'm trying to keep a distance from her. But at the same time I'm afraid to piss her off. I'm not sure how to best deal with this. I feel sort guilty that she has did me all these favours and that I'm somewhat dependent on her. At the same time I dont want to get on any one's bad side. Which would probably go very badly for me. I'm trying to avoid what happen to my first therapist. :sad2:

What kind of favors?

You're a therapist magnet.

It's hard to separate business from personal life when you're dealing with a therapist because you tell her all your personal stories. Still, your therapist is someone who does business with you. She is performing a service and you are paying her. Don't think that you owe her anything since she did favors. If you are uncomfortable with the flirting, just tell her. She is a therapist, so she should understand.

Maybe if you have a recurrent problem with female therapists, you should consider finding a male.

Stop being so irresistable.

You must be sexy. Get a male therapist?

Aside from the fact she's unprofessional to be flirting with a patient, the therapist/patient dynamic is highly variable. One person's 'dream doctor' is another's nightmare.

Agree w/Vash. The woman therapist isn't working for you. Try a guy, or even a gay male therapist if you can find one. They tend to be a bit more empathetic, while still being strong enough to make you face your issues.
