Being a therapist, it is part of his training to avoid getting involved emotionally with his client and its ethically, morally and even legally not allowed as it is almost like taking advantage of someone who was susceptible emotionally. So may b ur therapist realised his mistake and stepped back. He wud have been a better therapist if he had clarified that before discontinuing communication

Change therapist... Preferably a female

It is not morally, ethically or legally appropriate for a therapist to get involved in any kind of relationship with their Patient. It is sensible of him to stop treating you. You need to change your treating psychiatrist immediately.
