What are some signs that a therapist may have poor boundaries with their clients?
Last Updated: 21.06.2025 07:43
Session-expressed curiosities about client details not relevant to the therapy.
Disclosing feelings, fantasies, and experiences to the client in ways not related to the work the client is engaged in.
Failing to mention the client in supervision/consultation, out of fear the supervisor/consultant will advise return to ordinary healthy boundaries.
Has anyone ever had sex with their cousin? How did it start, and would you do it again?
Sense of competition with persons who are important in the client’s life.
Obsessing about clients outside of work hours.
These items can happen fleetingly, briefly, in any therapy, but if they’re frequent, it’s definitely time for the therapist to get some good, solid supervision/consultation.
If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?
Struggling with fantasies of deeper connections with clients, whether sexual or parental or other intense or intimate relationships beyond psychotherapy.

Eager anticipation (or anxious anticipation) of the next session in ways that distract.
What kind of book did you write after turning 55?

Routinely going over the time limit with certain patients, compromising the time for the next client.
Serious disappointment when the client cancels a session.
