good point. I agree. if the therapist is hurt, it is the therapist's issue that is causing the hurt.
[/QUOTE] It cannot contaminate or wound or whatever the therapist. That a client may have the same issue a therapist deals with is not the concern of the client. It is the concern and responsibility of the therapist to either limit their practice to those who do not have the same issues or for the therapist to deal with it. It is not the concern or responsibility of the client to protect, take care of, protect, or worry about the therapist.[/QUOTE]
TOTALLY TOTALLY AGREE
[/QUOTE] It is not even possible, in my opinion, for a client to protect or take care of a therapist unless the therapist fails to maintain even the most minimal professional boundaries.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I've seen those boundaries failed to be maintained.
