I agree with you. You are quoting my words where a posed a question using casual use of language--it's not meant to be literal and didn't mean to cause confusion.

The intention of the focus of this thread wasn't to be an argument about whether it's 'ok' and I generally don't support a T being in a relationship with former clients but do not see it that black and white. Hence the interpretation of the language.

I wondered if anyone has asked their T a question like this. If anyone works in the field or is a therapist or knows of someone in this situation, I'm also interested.
Thanks for this!
