i can understand how in a lot of situations where a client likes the T, and wants a dual relationship with him or her. and most people bring up the fact that if anything DID happen between client and T, it would end up hurting the client. but i wonder, in a hypothetical situation where a client liked their T and they started dating, let's say....and then, maybe had sex, let's say, or didn't have sex, either case: how do you think you would handle it? and if it ended, how would you handle it. let's say he or she is not your t anymore while you are dating, but they WERE.
see, i think, even if it ended, the relationship, the dating, the sex, what have you, i would be grateful to have experienced whatever i experienced with him (my T). but i think my case could be a little different, as is everyone's case, but i would be grateful to have been able to experience whatever i would with him. it's something i want so bad, not just sex with him, no, but to get to know him on a personal level, i think i could really connect, as i have never connected with anybody in my life. and if i did connect with T, and then we had to break it off for whatever reason, i'll be realistic, I'D BE HEARTBROKEN. but. i really do think i'd be happy to have had my time with him. and plus, i'm feeling all this pain from NOT being able to see him outside of session, so i think i could handle any emotional outbreaks that happen after a hypothetical relationship with my T.
so how bout you guys? how do you think you'd react? just thought it'd be fun to talk about it.*inimitable
