Hi guys. I have started individual therapy with a new T and there's something about her policies that make me a little uncomfortable for some reason.

It states that a client is no longer considered a client after 6 months have elapsed. I would have thought this to be too short a time period and for some reason it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable as there is no long term protection. I live in the same town as my therapist and so there's always going to be that possibility of bumping into her in the future and I wonder if I am no longer considered a client after those 6 months, will she maintain my confidentiality or is she going to be saying hi across the grocery aisle in the supermarket?

Secondly, it states that if sexual attraction develops during the course of therapy (on the part of the client/therapist/both) the client will be referred to another therapist. Now I know about transference and it hasn't happened as of yet but this policy makes me feel a little uncomfortable as it sounds like the therapist is incompetent at handling it.

What do you guys think? Does this therapist sound trustworthy?
