I have been thinking about this lately and for one thing we have society has become so sue happy, that T's, doctors, etc. have to walk on egg shells because of the actions of just a few.
What the hell is wrong with caring about clients, showing them, and telling them. Like it is a taboo now to do so.
Some clients NEED someone to care and it is just sad to see T's with over strict boundaries due to fear of being sued. I think a lot of T's become so frusterated and become withdrawn from us as humans, because they are denied to be natural.
Now I believe boundaries are very important, but when they take the humanness out of therapy, what is the point? Now, not all T's are like this, but I am afraid that therapy is moving in the direction of being impersonal and cold.
