[QUOTE=Patoman04;3470164]This topic has been on my mind for a while now and I was wondering what you all thought about it. We all know T's have their own set of morals by which they live by. For some it could be just the basic morals of human nature while others may have profound morals based on religion or just conscience. My question is, do you ever wonder what T has to go through with clients who do not share the same moral values as them? I feel like this is exactly what is happening between me and my T at the moment. For me it is incredibly difficult. I was born and raised catholic and conservative. My T has a similar christian background, but seems to act more lenient when it comes to morals and beliefs. We have disagreed on various topics in the past which obviously is not uncommon, but what happens to a T when they come across a topic that is so far in contrast to their own morals? This seems like it would make the life of the T really hard. For example, maybe the client believes that robbing a bank, per se, is a noble act and wants advice on how to do it better. Now obviously that would never happen, but if it did, what would the T do? Would he/she voice their own opinion and try to teach that the action is wrong or would they be forced to go along with it and help the client, despite it being against what they believe in. We live in a society today where acceptable behaviors and very unclear as a whole and I could see a T struggling with this a lot over topics like abortion. What would you do as a T? I am just curious. Ty
