Should I report?

Question

My therapist tried to pull me onto his lap. When I was upset about it he bought me flowers to apologize. A little background though, one of the reasons I go to therapy is because I was raped, so I might be paranoid. Also he has held my hand and put his arm around me in the past. He is an elderly man and works for the university I attend.

Answer

Please report him!! Do not let him continue because one day he will succeed at trying to take advantage of someone emotionally/mentally weak! Stop hop!

Answer

That is completely inappropriate for a therapist. Period. If mine did that I'd report him immediately, and he's also a sweet old man.

Answer

Definitely report him. That's inappropriate.

Answer

Putting his arm around you & holding your hand is questionable but attempting to pull you into his lap & buying you flowers as an apology is totally inappropriate.

I'd report him & switch therapists immediately.

Answer

I've been in therapy many times and they NEVER touched me outside of a handshake without asking first. Seems very inappropriate, but sometimes old men don't seem to get the memo because they use the excuse that they're "from a different time."

Answer

I'm a therapist and this is NOT okay. Please, please report him!

Answer

Whoever said youre paranoid... the fuck. I'd report his ass after knocking him out. Hope you report him. Imagine the other women. Someone needs to get him out.

Answer

I would report him immediately and switch therapists asap. This is totally inappropriate behavior for a therapist to have with this client.

Answer

As a counselor in training I can tell you that is unethical. He is crossing the lines and should be reported to the ethics board. That is inappropriate and no counselor should be touching you or giving you flowers or holding your hand. Please report him, who knows how many other clients he is exploiting!

Answer

He's taking advantage of you. Find someone else
