((((Hank)))) thanks for your note.

I did not read that the T validated the feelings...I did not read that the T turned the topic back to the client to examine. I read that the T incited...inflamed...a delicate situation.

As far as trust with the S/O goes and your examples I dont see how that relates here. I think you misunderstood.

It is my understanding that where there is an inbalance of power in any situation, it is the person in authority or the superior or in his case a Professional, to keep the client safe. Esp safe from the imbalance of power. Being vulnerable...i do believe there are actual oaths and regs protect people in these situations.

It read to me as if the T has now made it a sort of game. Esp because i recall reading that the poster had somewhat low self esteem in their thoughts of their appearance.

Peach...hah! Good one.

Frankly by the way, if my S/O was vulnurable and the person they were seeing for help did this, I would be quite concerned about the Ts abilities. Not my S/Os faithfulness or intentions. And I dont make light of these things or go to an extreme such as speaking with a waitress or making an offhanded remark to a coworker in jest.

This is T. Not the playground...
