How do you think serious nasty stalkers get started? I stressed very clearly that I did not class the OP as dangerous - I even said I thought he sounded lovely. But stalking starts somewhere and I think it is sensible to understand that it could spiral and so take action (like talking to the T) to prevent it getting worse.

You seem very defensive about this - No one is condemning you, or OP, or anyone else on this forum that has experienced this type of transference. This is a subject that comes up repeatedly here. But at no point am I going to say its ok to do this kind of thing. Its not.
I would never suggest ANY pathological and/or threatening behaviour BECOMES ok because a person is a patient. I would see any such proposition as absurd.

I also see it as absurd to suggest that someone may well be at the beginning of a VERY serious pathology because they once watched for a glimpse of their T in a parking lot.
Thanks for this!
