The Therapist




"..of therapists who become sexually involved with a client, 75% to 80% do so repeatedly.."  Ken Pope

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

A fictional conversation based on the stats by Old Crow

Therapist: "I’m the therapist."

Client: "You’re the therapist?"

Therapist: "YES, I’m the therapist. That’s why I have a door for my office with the sign that says “Therapist”."

Client : "No, you’re not the therapist. You're the-rapist. You use your superior skills against me, manipulating my needs for affection and sex to keep me in a one down, begging position, wrapping yourself in your self-help synthetic religiosity that requires no commitment and no practice, and expressly useful for you, no community of voices outside of our own bondage in this office to point out the imbalances and blind spots."

Therapist :" Oh, really ?"

Client : “Yes, really. That’s why you love being so isolated in this sound-proof box of yours. Nobody else can see or hear what’s really going on. You’re the rapist “

Therapist: “ Perhaps I should change the sign on my door."
