See this is why my T gets whacked out by erotic transference sometimes and goes through the littany of the 'slippery slope' comments.

No two clients are the same, no two therapies are the same. I want my T to be genuine and real, validate me and not reject me.

It's hypervigilant comments like some in these posts that interfere with the intimacy of the therapy process.

I highlight Irvin Yalom's The Gift of Therapy where he talks about home visits, touching etc. and how it can be done appropriately and should be encouraged for healing.

Therapists learned a ton through different transferences. It doesn't mean they encourage it but they also should not interfere with it either.
