I have not followed your earlier posts and don't know anything about your history, so cannot comment on whether the T is trying to communicate something useful with all this. But even if she did, I personally would not want that sort of communication from a professional. I would not mind knowing basic things about a Ts children or other family members, people talk about their children all the time, even strangers. I would have no tolerance for the bathrobe, hair curlers, running errands when we have a meeting etc, at all. It would not be about seeing personal things about the T per se but because I consider that completely unprofessional. I don't think someone working in a home office should do it any differently from working in a rented office, clinic etc. I don't even receive my friends, or anyone other than an intimate partner or close family, half dressed in my home and it is very weird that someone can loose track of the time that much - I would not believe that, I think it is more sloppiness or, as discussed on this thread, inappropriate boundaries. My last T once mentioned that in the office of one of his own Ts, they took shoes off and left them outside the therapy room. I even found that odd and did not get the point of it (it wasn't about keeping the office clean). So, for me, this behavior is way way beyond what I would consider acceptable from a T.
Thanks for this!
