It's an unethical act for a therapist to kiss a client.
The kiss *is* the red flag. It *never* should have happened - ever!
I've been reading up on this - technically, it's not an ethical violation in the eyes of everyone - professionals and patients alike. It was a kiss on the cheek! On the cheek! It's not wrong to me.

If it were me, I'd change therapists immediately, and I'd inform the person running the clinic, (or whatever operation it is you go to), of what happened. That's me.
But, I stand by my opinion.
The behavior - the kiss - was an unethical act by the therapist.
You have a right to your opinion - how about respecting my right to my opinion as well?

Perhaps *you* are capable of standing up for yourself.
What of others who are not?
Is it ok for the therapist to seduce them because they are vulnerable?
(A rhetorical question, of course.)
The idea of my T seducing patients is laughable. You have no idea what you're talking about.

See, *that's* why the kiss is a red flag,
and *that's* why the behavior is unethical.
It can - and it often does - lead to other,
and more dispicable behavior.
One well-wishing kiss on the cheek is not despicable behavior to me.

I'll address this issue no further.
I wish you well.
I wish you well, too, and everyone else - I don't need this judgement in my life. I'm fighting hard to refrain from judging you, but I do feel sorry for you.

Peace!
Peace out, PC'ers! I wish you all well on your journeys. Thank you for your support and advice.
