> Anything would feel abrupt to Happyflower right now, I think .. I could be wrong, but anything less than him sitting her in her lap and stroking her hair and putting her head on his shoulder and just cooing to her, just cooing and nothing else.

That's precisely what's wrong with this picture. He had a professional duty to her, not to let it get to that. Period. Full stop.

I'm not into vengence, but I am into making clear what is wrong with the picture. There is enough in this situation to easily file formal complaint(s) with professional organizations. At least, in my jurisdiction, that would be true.

Maybe, if some time down the road, this got written up *as if* to file a formal complaint, but it is handed to him with the warning that it will not be sent in, but he should read it as if it was........

To make clear that he failed her. I can't see it any other way. The power imbalance in a therapeutic relationship is so skewed, that the patient is virtually *never* responsible.

I'm sorry if I am too blunt, here. I just feel very blunt about this.
