Thank you for your perspective, it is crazy and inappropriate, I think that perfectly describes my ex t.

Thanks for this Lola, I imagine it could be handled ethically and appropriately and it could also be mutually beneficial for both you and your therapist.
I am sure that therapists can have a dual relationship with their clients but I think their attitude around how they handle it could cause a lot of problems.



I wonder what my t got out of it. I think sometimes she gets lonely and needs some connection. I found myself craving her time too but now I know why it has to be only an hour a week and we can never be friends.


You are so right, once you meet in a public place therapy becomes unpredictable and unmanageable and your anonymity is forgotten. A t could never guarantee confidentiality in a public place.


Is it more conventional now?

Sounds like a very positive experience.


That's good boundaries [emoji4]
