I wasn't going to listen to this but given the comment from Camille has made decide too listen to it at some point. It begs the question for me are the terms Camille not applied not applied to a therapist because of the assumption that people with a mental illness aren't reliable or more likely to accuse some one of abuse without it happening and how justified is this , if at all?

Sure. Yes. I think those labels could be used.

I have a question. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial (for everyone) if the sexualized words and sexually charged actions of the therapist were described as “sexual harassment” and “assault”?
I can not imagine why any therapist would be justified in telling someone that they were “sensual,” not when the context is some kind of emotionally-charged admiration. I think someone should come out and say that if a therapist (or for that matter: doctor, lawyer, landlord, professor, uncle…) seems to be admiring you a bit too much for your sexual qualities, its time to break off the relationship. It seems like that (creepy) invasive behavior is a red flag that people could be taught to recognize so that the relationship doesn’t go on to more and more abuse?
I totally understand how vulnerable people get victimized by predators. (And can’t we just call the therapist described in the podcast a predator?)
