Kissing a client is behavior that is unethical. There are boundaries that exist for a reason. And the reason is for your protection. You are there for a reason; you're in a vulnerable state right now, else you wouldn't be in therapy.
This type of behavior adds a confusion that should never have occured. Just look at the title of your thread if you don't think it does. You put an exclaimation point! You were surprised! You didn't expect it because it NEVER should have happened in a theraputic session. 
Red flags, I agree. Please be careful. 
Peace! |
Again, I appreciate the concern, but what exactly is it a red flag for? Do you think my T is going to seduce me? Hardly! It was a surprise, but it was because of the New Year, that's it. I am not confused by it at all, please don't put words in my mouth. Being surprised in the moment is far different than being confused - it can lead to confusion, but it didn't for me. And even though I am vulnerable in therapy, that doesn't mean that I won't stand up for myself if T does something I consider inappropriate.
I see no reason to address this one kiss - I know what spirit it was given, and that's all that matters to me.
