I am seeing a lot of red flags. He is blurring boundaries, creating confusion and a level of intimacy that is inappropriate. That is not ethical and he is not being professional. Plus, there is not just *one* thing but an accumulation of red flags.

There are basic standards of practice that your T is not respecting: blowing you a kiss?! He is crossing the line by blurring boundaries - he is not a friend or a relative or a lover. Would it be acceptable for a teacher to blow a kiss to their student?? Would it be okay for your mechanic to blow you a kiss?

Friending clients on social media is another ethical big no, no.

Telling you are "I was the best client, that he did not want to lose me" is highly inappropriate. How is that therapeutic?! That comment is self-serving and frankly creepy. He is not serving the client's needs but his own. Even if the client feels they have grown and want to leave, here is the jilted T crying "Please don't leave me"?! Likewise re commenting on your physical appearance. It is like he is grooming you.

There are many grounds for malpractice in there.
Thanks for this!
