I think I know what you mean… But when I was in the depths of transference hell I longed for an opportunity to joke about my fantasies in a playful way with people who understood. That was before I discovered Babble. I think (for me) the feelings were at their most harmful when I tried to deny them or push them away.
I strongly believe that it’s the therapist’s responsibility to maintain the boundaries and ensure that ethical codes are upheld. So I think a therapist’s unethical response could be harmful, but I don’t think sharing fantasies with other clients is harmful.
What do you think? Do you worry that sharing fantasies could put some clients at risk from unethical therapists? Or is it something else?
