One of my therapists took me for a walk and told me that she cared about me. Her intention was to show me how physical exercise can have a positive effect on mood.
One of my therapists has given me flowers. A whole bunch of daffodils for my birthday. I've also been given single flowers. In the context of mindfulness meditation. Also in the context of... Trying to cheer my day.
Of course both of these things can be used unprofessionally...
But the fact that they occurred doesn't entail that a therapist is behaving unprofessionally.
