First of all, I didn't determine right or wrong. But let me go back a little.
In the first original post GTGT said:
"Post therapy friendships are possible"

Yes, they are possible. The truth is however - and I have had this conversation with more than one therapist - that it is not the norm, that it is not recommended and that there can be a lot of damage. But, as I stated, there are exceptions and I am glad there are. That doesn't mean however that because some friendships work out it doesn't mean that most will. According to my therapist "Very few have the potential to be balanced, healthy and satisfying in the long run" and she has done a lot of research into this topic.

Later in the thread GTGT says:
"Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully people will realize it does happen, Post Therapy Relationships. And more importantly, no big deal re boundaries."

Here it goes away from the subjective, personal experience into something broader. (No big deal re boundaries)
This invites me to take part in this conversation to offer my point of view, as she says Hopefully people will realize...'
And my point of view is that this can not stand alone as a statement for everyone, because the truth is, MANY therapists DO think there is a problem regarding boundaries.
Yes, these post-therapy relationships do happen - that is a fact. But it is also a fact that different T's have a very clear boundary here. And for very good reasons.

Later, GTGT says:
"What I grapple with is the fact that so many on this board say it's wrong, unethical damaging, etc; group think. Granted things can go wrong; such is life. When therapy is terminated usually one has grown and know how to deal with life issues, and get help from others if need be. Even those that have attachment disorder or BPD."
Again, this deviates from the strictly personal experience and again, this is where I can offer my opinion. I agree with GTGT, that the idea of ending therapy is that the client is able to deal with life issues and get help from others - but that is just not a general case for everyone. And I also agree with "things can go wrong, such is life" but therapy relationships are very unique for most of us. They are exponentially more intense than friendships, there is a huge imbalance in the beginning such as the therapist knows so much more about us than we know about them and so on. To build a friendship where both parts are equal, is a huge challenge and in many cases unsuccessful. And yes, I can make this statement because I have read into this topic, I have talked about it with people who know what they are talking about. (Not that they are necessarily right - so my opinion is not a fact, just what I have learned)

So I wasn't attacking AT ALL GTGT's personal experience, and this thread was not just an account of a personal experience, it became a discussion. That's why I don't feel bad offering my opinion, because all I was addressing was the broader statements that were made. And not at all the personal experience, which I said a few times now is REALLY GREAT! And I am really happy for GTGT.
