A TikTok user alleges she developed feelings for her psychiatrist in a video series, igniting a discussion regarding her genuineness and intentions. The creator, @kendrahilty, shared a video declaring “I fell for my psychiatrist…” which garnered over 1.3 million views and was devoid of comments, as they were turned off. She subsequently released multiple videos addressing inquiries such as “Did you file a complaint against this guy?” (She has not) and “Did you see a psychiatrist that frequently?” (She met with him monthly).

She broadened the narrative into a series named “I was in love with my psychiatrist and he kept me anyway,” featuring videos ranging from 30 seconds to six minutes, refreshed daily, and each attracting between 300,000 to 3.4 million views. Currently in Part 19, @kendrahilty has uploaded 33 videos, with an average view count of 848,800.

The series adds up to nearly an hour and a half of viewing time, akin to a podcast. The reactions are varied, with conversations on the r/therapists subreddit regarding possible predatory behavior from the psychiatrist and TikTok users doubting the authenticity of her narrative.

Irrespective of the reality, the series keeps sparking dialogue.
