what would be so wrong...???

Posted by gazo on April 10, 2007, at 18:00:31

ignore me if you want, i'm trying to stay occupied.

i understand, even if don't agree with, the possible problems of sexual or romantic contact and relationships with T's. But what would be so wrong with friendship? especially casual social contact? Wouldn't it really depend on the T and the client?

i have met my pdoc in social situations and we chat and stuff. No big deal. He talks about himself with me. i know a lot about him. i think it made the relationship stronger. i mean, it made him less magical or mysterious, it made him just a nice guy. It also meant i felt he was more sincere.

so while a T and a client are in mid-process, maybe it would be harder... but what would be the problem with say, my former T and i having a coffee if we ran into each other somewhere?

HF's thing about her T made me think about this. i find the relationship set-up of therapy very unnatural and hard to deal with. i think bumping into her T outside, as a human being, is a great thing.
