My thoughts...I feel like even if there is no actual sex, but the T somehow dangles the promise of sex at a later date after terrmination or flirts seductively, or somehow alludes to availability and interest in that way, it is still not right.

I think therapy should serve as a bridge to healthy relationships outside of therapy, not be THE relationship. I don't think we should get stuck on the bridge. And just for the record, I have often in the past yearned to get stuck on that bridge!

Especially if the T is married, I think it is doubly wrong for him or her to come across as seductive, because then it's going against two sets of boundaries: the boundaries of the profession and the vows of marriage

I do recall of someone posting about an ex-pdoc having an affairs with patient(s)... and now that doc needs to have a nurse in the room at all times. So, that story didn't have a happy ending.

I guess my concern is that whenever boundries have been crossed by Ts etc with the people on the board, it has resulted in things like SI, suicide attempts and depression, every time. We go to Ts to heal from those things, not to have more reasons to want to do those things.

I am not saying this because I want to hurt someone on here, but because others have gotten hurt by their Ts.
