Really sorry he said this to you. I would be upset too.
I think, though, it says more about him/his personality/attitudes ...regardless of nonpsychodynamic orientation. The woman gave him the candy as a nice gesture--it was basically just laying around, but he took it for more than what it was. It illustrates his fears if anything...
Ugh, all around.

To make things worse, he pulled valentines candy out of a drawer, we are not talking a red shaped box but the kind of treats you might get as a kid in school.
He said talk about creepy, a patient gave it to him.
Ok now I’m mad. If this were a psychodynamicly trained therapist he would have recognized that this patient was unconciously or consciously expressing warm feelings towards him It doesn’t necessary mean sexual or romantic feelings. And if so, so what. Therapy dredges up crazy feelings. That’s what it does. I felt sad and angry for that patient. Kashi is trying to get me to laugh along with him? F@@@ you granola boy.
I said to him well that could have been me. Valentines has not been a romantic holiday for me in some time. It generally involves giving candy to friends family and we exchange the kid variety at work. Kashi said he asked the lady what it meant to give him the candy? He said that she said it was just from work and thought he might like it. How hurt and humiliated did this poor lady feel? Maybe she did not think it through that it could be taken romantically.
