Thanks Gardengirl,
I know in order to really know, I need to ask, but do you think he will REALLY will be totally truthful.
Like suppose you become attracted to a client of yours, and they share that they are attracted to you also. Have you received any T training on how to deal with this?
I know there is a lot of literature on client erotic transference, but very little is written on erotic counter-transference. Even though according to the Pope studies, many T's do become attracted to their clients sometimes during their carreers. And we all now there are many unethical therapists who do cross the line in therapy and become sexually involved with their clients. I am sure many T's said it wouldn't happen to them, but I bet sometimes they are caught off guard a little after all you can't control who you are attracted to.
