Your psychotherapist is absolutely not supposed to have sex with his / her patients, and doing so (and getting caught) is grounds for losing your license to practice.
That said, about 30% of psychotherapists are banging at least one of their patients in the United States...or claims to be...or something. If we're lucky that is a bogus stat, but frankly it's plausible.
That said, ideally you'd get therapy and sex from different sources.
Tbh I didn’t think this meme was saying have sex with your therapist, but I guess some people thought that the therapist is the same person
When we rely on our lover to process our inner turmoil then yeah, it's the same, just not a professional therapist. That's the implication.
Hence a better model of having multiple holistic close friends that can distribute the work. Or a professional therapist and a separate FWB.
