I'm curious as to how often this happens in therapy.

Once you have that connection do you and your T joke around in a flirtatious manner at all?

i'd say we flirt because we have in the past, and we are both probably what you would call compulsive flirts, but since he returned from a 2 week vacation 2 weeks ago, it's been like a long drawn out adult reenactment of the Strange Situation experiment - 6 sessions, and i'm still not used to him being back, I still haven't acknowledged his return.

We joke around a lot, but I don't believe I've ever done so in a flirting way....

We're both straight females, so no. We joke around a lot though.

I'm bi, she's straight and 20 years older than me. We joke around, but it's definitely not flirting.

Nope, just would be inapproprate. We joke around alot, but nothing could be interperted as flirting.

we ....banter, I guess, but I wouldn't call it flirting at all in any way. that would just be...eww weird.

shes only about 15 years older than me, but I would say I view her in more of a nurturing role than a sexual one.

Nope and glad he doesn't. It's a boundry problem I've had with men. I can't tell you how many unavailable/married men would flirt with me when I was in college. It messed with my head.

Does flirtatious joking around involve sexual humor? How is it different from regular joking around?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I don't know how to flirt. My therapist does not interest me in that way.

I think my past Ts have always thought I flirt but I just get anxious and laugh at everything when I'm uncomfortable which is usually frequently. To add to that - I talk about sex a lot so my Ts have always dropped little inappropriate jokes once in awhile just to lighten the mood, I'm a real joker and I turn my Ts into jokers. We always had a good time though, I think most of my Ts found me entertaining because the majority offered to see me more than once a week.

Anyway, I don't think flirting is damaging. All fun and games when you spend time and secret sharing with someone.

Excellent question.

An important aspect of flirting is that both parties know that it's just a game. If one of them doesn't know that, it could be sexual harassment.
