All we know is in the moment he felt uncomfortable and told someone. He made a simple statement that didn't signify anything more serious than awkwardness in the moment. Absolutely typical of all humans and no big deal. The thing that makes it a bigger deal is that he was being recorded. I don't know where he image of Oz and his curtain even remotely fits here. This can happen if anybody's private conversation is taped, not just a therapist's. Who knows what people say or feel after they have a conversation? Most people, because of social norms (whether right or wrong), is that transparent.

I agree. I think when we listen (accidentally or on purpose) others private conversations we are running a risk of hearing stuff that is unpleasant. Not like t said it to client's face
