But, that's different than, say, an actual friendship where we might meet for coffee. Ex-T told me that under the rules of clinical social workers, she's NEVER supposed to become friends with a former client, even if it had been, say, 10 years. Which is more strict than with psychologists.
More in a bit.

Ya he was LMFT. The reason he claims there is no contact is because he isn't at the company anymore, had he been there, I could email sometimes but he also said "We couldn't be pen pals so I couldn't write back" Yet he also told me that he is more than willing to talk to me if we see each other out and about, although highly unlikely... and he "liked" my dog's Facebook page so he can keep "updated" through that. He told me any requests I send, he would ignore, because supposedly I am entitled to privacy, but, I mean, if I request someone, I obviously don't care if they see stuff. I think he's just insanely confused. He even told me a client from 3 months ago texted him last week, but that was to ask if she could see him again for a session, but still.....
And yes I know social workers have the tougher rules... and I believe the therapists who are part of the APA.
