Okay, what if the client, like Pink, who has an intense erotic transference for their T, decided to go for it and jump in the T's lap or something. Is the T suppose to just let them do it, or should their be some boundaries against doing that? Some clients, maybe not Pink, would do that because they see the hand holding and hugs as acceptance of something more than a therapeutics relationship.
Boundary issues are not a type of psychological therapy, it relies on ethics and keeping both the therapist and client safe. Maybe Pink's T trust that that won't happen and Pink's trusts her T won't cross that line. But it can happen, it happens more than we know, most of this stuff doesn't get reported. I think it is good to be aware that some of this stuff can get kinda muddled in therapy.
