    Dual Relationship???
    Michelle · 11/18/03 at 12:21 ET

    Hello,

    my therapist always treated me more like a friend than a client. I
    had her home phone number (to call her anytime). On the weekends she
    invited me for coffee,or lunch. At first I didn't thought that
    anything was wrong until I discovered that my therapist billed my
    insurance company for sessions on days she has not seen me. Our
    sessions never took place in her office. One day a few weeks ago she
    terminated the client therapist relationship. Not that she gave me a
    reason, or an explanation no she handed me a letter that she wrote
    to my physician (not a nice one) and
    told me if I have anything to say to this letter I better do it now
    cause if she would hear about it afterwards I have to watch out.
    A few days ago I received a very threatening letter in the mail from
    her if she
    would hear anything from my insurance company in this matter she
    would take legal action against me. What can I do in my situation?

    Thank you
    Michelle
