Once when I showed up for a session,bleeding,my T got me bandages but didn't offer to bandage the wound for me,nor would I have wanted him to.I sat and bandaged myself while we carried on with a normal session,as if nothing was out of the ordinary.I noticed he watched what I was doing very carefully and seemed more curious than concerned.He did bring it up the next week during my session and we talked about it in depth.

It wasn't for attention or for a reaction from him and I was grateful he didn't treat it like a big deal or anything.I think he understood how embarrassed I was at the time.

I can see though how if a T did react and someone got attention,comfort,even help cleaning or bandaging a wound they may be inclined to want that same treatment again and maybe SH even more for that reason.I think T's need to be very careful in how they conduct themselves because it may encourage the very things they are hoping to help the client learn to manage.
