What's with all the questions?!


Question:

What's with all the questions?

My therapist seems to ask me many personal questions. Of course it is his job because he is helping me to sort out some things in my life. But questions about my sex life such as when was the last time I had sex and what my conversations are about when I talk to men. He wants to know too many specifics such as where I met the guy and what street I was on when I met him. My phone rings while I'm in a session with him and he wants to know if the caller is male or female. What type of craziness is that? Anyway am I just being paranoid? He claims its his job and he's concerned but I think he's too nosy. I mean it shouldn't matter who I talk to, what I talk about with them and my sex life either. As long as it's not hurting me mentally it should not be his concern. Is he nosy or just CRAZY?

Also I am not seeing him for any sex related issue. He is actually my psychiatrist/psychotherapist. I initially began seeing him for my depression.


Answers:

You have a serious situation here! Let me get this straight you are seeing him for depression and he is asking you sexual questions! Something is not right here, unfortunately people in his position do step out of bounds sometimes and unfortunately for you this is one of those times! You have every right to feel uncomfortable with these kind of questions especially if none of them pertain to your situation. I am not even sure what good these questions would be if you had any sexual problems anyway! You must remember that there is a higher power above and beyond him called his BOSS, someone he MUST answer to! If you feel that something is not right then it probably isn't and you have every right to seek help! Go to those above him and explain what has been happening and that this is bothering you. They should help you and they should deal with him if he is doing wrong.
Theywill help you get another therapist if you would like one.

Let me tell you from experience that I have also spoke to a therapist because of depression and not once did he ever bring up anything about sex, my sex life, whom I chose for partners and where these encounters took place!

These types of details a irrelevant and unnecessary for him to know and they are extremely private! I can't say for certain that he has any ulterior motives but trust your instinct, women's intuition is never wrong! Protect yourself and get help!
