It could be said that Pippa's new therapist is being put into an untenable position, or at least one of a conflict of interest, which is inappropriate.
If she works with Pippa's lover and ex-therapist, she will have conflicting allegiances, to her co-worker, and to Pippa. She may well also have a strong interest in not rocking the boat at her job, with supervisors and other colleagues.
The issue for the new therapist is that often those who report the malfeasance of colleagues become seen as trouble makers, not good samaritans. Beyond that, they have to go through a lot of uncomfortable situations, and trouble that is made much more painful by being in prior relationships of (presumably) mutual respect with people who must, inevitably question her judgment and her report.
So it may be that Pippa has gone from one inappropriate situation to another.
