So, my ex-therapist tracked down my Twitter (as I have a google info box due to releasing my music through a distributor, so google is like "Wait are you famous?"), after exactly two years when it would no longer be illegal for him to contact me. And then, after I had to figure out who he was, he confessed that he always was attracted to me. I always had weird vibes and like some things he'd say and the way he'd make physical contract with me kept feeling very inappropriate, which is a part of why I left. But then when he tracked me down today (literally this was like an hour ago), he said all kinds of wildly and blatantly inappropriate stuff.
So yeah I'm incredibly emotionally shook.
As a professional counselor and a trainer of counselors, I'm terribly sorry. This person is acting unethically in every possible way, and I encourage you - if you can - to report them to their local professional licensing board for an inappropriate dual relationship. For just about every type of therapist, attempting to initiate a relationship with a client is strongly discouraged no matter how long it's been since the therapeutic contact, so even if it's not illegal, it probably will be against the ethical practices of the local licensing board, particularly since the person sought you out against your will.
If you don't feel comfortable, that's understandable, but unfortunately inappropriate dual relationships are one of the most common ethical complaints against therapists. Your experience, I hate to say, is not as uncommon as it should be.
