I don' t think the therapist did anything wrong. Private clinics are still public spaces. In the past I would have had a lot of uncomfortableness with the the therapist in all out of context scenarios. I saw this as my issue not theirs. My previous therapist had a home office. Life needed to happen for them and their families.

These were the things that I brought to therapy because it paralleled other relationships in my life, everything needed to be how I wanted as opposes to learning to appreciate or not be affected by what is.

Another poster spoke of the therapist kissing her SO. Unless, they were embracing and locking lips I feel as a client I need to ignore or deal with the affects in therapy because for me it surely would be similar to other relationships in my life; jealousy comes to mind in both scenarios. If a quick peck on the lips or cheek (I don't know if this was the case for the other poster) throws me off balance then I know it is an issue that should be dealt with in therapy.

On this forum I read so many things a therapist is suppose to avoid, do or remember for each client so this already UNREAL relationship gets farther away from real life. I would think in some of these situations the client would be better served having a conversation with the therapist first. Then maybe experiencing a bit of exposure therapy for the scenario that is leaves one flustered. I know in a few instances my attachment therapist had to do this for me. I know we all have our own points of view, and these are my opinions only.
