MY PYCHOLOGIST THINKS IT'S OK TO CALL TO FLIRT/BUT NOT IN A CRISIS!

MY PYCHOLOGIST THINKS IT'S OK TO CALL TO FLIRT/BUT NOT IN A CRISIS!

Dr. Richard Geist would talk on the phone with me during the summer when he was on vacation in Maine by the lake, often flirting. But when I was in a crisis situation with my son he IGNORED ALL MY PHONE CALLS!! My son was brutally beaten and had bruises all over him. I wanted to pull him out of the horrific place he was staying. It was during this crisis I called my psychologist, not once or twice but several times telling him I was in an emergency situation and to call back. When I later confronted him he bit my head off and got very defensive. He got defensive even after clearly stating to me "Call me and leave a message on my phone; I will call you back"

Now why was it OK to call to flirt and talk about nonsense but not ok to call in a real-life crisis? I remember the time I called him during a date night out to dinner with his wife. He got up from the table, left the restaurant and went outside to talk to me. I asked him what he would do if I took all my clothes off in our next session! I just called because it was late at night (10:00) and I wanted to flirt with him! He had fun with this.

What are the rules? If the rules are ambiguous how do I know what to do? Dr. Richard Geist also saw the unethical psychologist who was having sex with me. He stood up for him over and again telling me I must NEVER go to the board -even if my psychologist is physically, emotionally and SEXUALLY abusing me!!!!

I was so tormented by his yo-yo approach to the boundaries I became an alcoholic! There were no goals in the 16 year therapy. In fact that is how he operates. He sees patients for $300.00 for 50 minutes four times a week for DECADES! He told me "I can never retire; my patients couldn't live without me"

How omnipotent and narcissistic is that?????
