After agreeing to stop seeing my therapist due to mutual attraction yrs later I slept with him he wont talk??


Question: started therapy, and I had to stop the connection and physical
attraction was too intense. we remained in touch for a few years. When his personal relationship with someone ended he
started calling me and we slept together for a year and a half
now he will not talk to me or even respond to my phone calls.
I just want some understanding of what happened. I thought after all those years we were friends. Could he be feeling guilty?
Answers: Oh honey, I feel for you..he had the advantage all along. He probably is afraid
to have a confrontation with you.
Maybe he thought you would be more casual about the whole thing. It's a shame
that you could not talk it over, I'm sure
your feeling confused...he's just as screwed up as any other guy...get over it...the only way out is through.
Maybe he sees himself as the rapist instead of the therapist.
Yes he could, and this is serious, he could have unintentionally manipulated you.
Sounds to me like he got back with his ex or he met someone else and doesn't know how to tell you.

Could he be feeling guilty you ask...possibly, but in my opinion not probably. If you slept together for a year and a half, that's well past the I shouldn't have done this phase.

You're better off just letting him go, he's only going to hurt you more emotionally if you persue answers that he doesn't want to give.
well, like i always say... most psychologists have mental problems themselves. that's why they were interested in going into that field. better understanding of human thought.

i dunno. i guess...what did you expect? a real relationship? this is a fantasy. (a nice one, i might add) maybe he thought you were getting too involved. of course, it usually doesn't take a year and a half to figure that out. it sounds like he's an *** and maybe used you a little. i went through a similar situation with a guy. (not a doctor) but he just stopped taking my calls with no explanation. just move on. that's all you can do.
I think he is upset at what he and you had started because he may feel that walking away from the matter will help. But without hearing his side of the story is difficult to help matters because it helps to hear each sides story's not that I am taking sides but it helps people to come up with a conclusion. He is feeling that if he never saw you again will solve the problem entirely and he wants to move on with his own life. You and him should of had a civilized conversation about what has happened because he wants to move on but he is ignoring the fact that he to made a mistake. He probably doesn't know of any other way to handling the problem because when a doctor and a patient have a physical relationship, he could loose his license to be a therapist and have legal trouble too. that is another possible reason but don't push him because he is too afraid of what might happen with his career and his life.
I agree with Sapphy's answer. Completely. I was going to write the very same stuff. Very good answer.
afraid of losing his license probably
I think he needs a therapist...
