Thanks FTB for saying the above. Unfortunately, I fall within the throws of the T committing a major ethical violation with me and refusing to accept responsibility for it. It wasn't just a one time mistake either, it was continuous for months. Appalling really. Had he expressed remorse or apologized it would have been something. Instead he tried the old blame the client routine. Can you believe he tried to blame me for HIS unethical behavior? It's unbelievable really. Had I known therapy was going to turn into a vicious game of cat and mouse, I would have left long ago.
Back to your question. Of course we all make mistakes. It's how we handle them that separates the men from the boys. Age is not a factor here. I think a 5 year old will own up to what he's done easier than a 50 year old at times.
