You read about it in their blogs or websites, and people here have been told by therapists that they can no longer work with them after the client discloses those types of feelings.


I don't know how it could corrupt therapy but it could possibly stand in the way of progress.

If s client is there to work on improving something in their life (whatever the goal is, improve their marriage or finances or parenting their kids better) but can't even concentrate on anything because all they want is to get into therapist's pants.

That doesn't make clients difficult though or warrants termination unless they start harassing and intimating Ts or demand unreasonable favors from them. Still it's important that t addresses it in the most kind of manners and doesn't simply call a client "difficult" and call it quits. That's not professional
