Syra, i just feel that the word "grooming" is a highly disempowering word and loaded with connotations of abuse ( child abuse specifically since i am not aware of the word being used to describe an adult to adult situation) and in my country "grooming" is in fact a criminal offence. But i take on board that perhaps you weren't insinuating what i thought.
I do feel that that word has no pertinence in MLS's situation and only serves to create a hysterical environment that might worry MLS more about her T's intentions.

In regards to the photographs for people who haven't read the other posts by MLS... her therapist didn't throw these pictures in her face, she spoke to MLS about them, they are explicit but also artistic and her T loved them and was excited about them and suggested MLS go look at them. MLS has since had a conversation with her T as to why she suggested she look at them and i think she was content with the explanation.
