>Also, I am wondering about the cleaning naked disclosure. I think it's fine for you to push boundaries as much and as often as you feel like--it's *your* therapy. But why does Bubba give in so much? Maybe you're his favorite but most or least favorite I wonder how this helps you? Dunno. Just seemed off.
Rigby, the way you put this concern was more articulate than how I phrased it--but I'm glad I wasn't the only one to get that "uh-oh" feeling about his talking about the naked cleaning and sitting around in his underwear.
Come to think of it, he just found out that she knows his address. She told him she hasn't driven by, but obviously the thought crossed Karen's mind. (I had the same urge toward my therapist a number of years back, and I did drive by twice). By saying that he sits around the house in his underwear, isn't that kind of a major TEASE to say to a patient who might be fighting the urge to drive by his house?
I agree--he shouldn't be giving in and giving so much personal info--especially provocative things like underwear sitting and naked cleaning. It feels really inappropriate.
