Of course I remember you Sassy!
It is really hard to hear about inappropriate T's when it took years to overcome all the pain my 1st caused me and it is a huge trigger for me, even now, even after a huge doo doo load of therapy. So if your T is still doing the same, it wouldn't be healthy for me to hear about that, but I do support you and hope you are doing well.Even though it started off flirty and fun, I now see inappropriate T's behavior's as a form of abuse of power and know the deep pain it can cause a client. It feels worse than child abuse. I have even become an activist for this cause.
A current trend for therapists is to continue to have a supervision type group with other T's that meet weekly, for support and feedback for their highly stressful jobs. Many T's now believe in having therapy themselves, to make sure their issues (and everyone on this planet has them) doesn't come into the therapy room and negatively impact their clients. I highly support this.
