The risk she has taken, I think it was more than worth it, that you are
Glad she picked up on the teasing and ran with it; and that you knew she was teasing back as well  |
From what I understand, whether we have felt those feelings or buried them, we haven't properly processed them. The healing is in the processing.
Thanks for echoing T's words that I am worth it. It means SO much!

But I must have missed the part about the professional risk. I wasn't aware that she had taken any.

The professional risk is this: the more a T shares about him/herself and his/her own problems, the more ammo a client has in a grievance or lawsuit. For instance, I could say that she was using me to tell her own problems to for her benefit, which is unethical.
Then again, working in the mental health field carries inherent risk, I've found.
