Hi annierose,
Well, I guess my hesitation here is that she *could* send him a very clear message that a romantic relationship is in no way possible between them, and that she will not pursue that, while not having to tell him that she doesn't find him attractive at all. Do you know what I mean? Would you really want your T to tell you that they were not at all attracted to you? I guess I feel that that message could be devastating to me, if I were in the client's shoes.
But that it might be easier to hear a T explore what's going on for me around the issue, while also making it clear that there is no chance of a different type of relationship between us. Does that seem too ambiguous? I agree with you that it would be bad to leave him any sense that a romantic relationship could develop.
