I went to a few counseling visits and the lady did mention some things about her to reflect off my situation. Not like she ranted about herself it was maybe one sentence but I feel she did it to make me feel less alone in the situation as a way to comfort me. Or put the subject off me for a second if I seemed hesitant. One thing tho she never touched me I’d feel weird cause like the room was always dark with one lamp between us so of she reached over to touch my hand I’d be like uhh wtf. Did try and comfort me with a box of tissues tho that’s as far as we got. Maybe she offered just to be nice and made the joke to get you to laugh. Not sure what crossing the boundaries are for therapists but if you don’t like her asking and it bothers you let her know.
Thank you for being the first honest person to comment! Totally agree with you. I don’t know if it’s crossing the boundaries exactly I think she’s just trying to help me. I’m just really new at this whole thing so I need to make sure no boundaries are being crossed to keep it healthy.
You’re welcome. I understand I’d want to keep it professional as well. I had one for a short time so again I’m not sure but to me it seems normal for the most part. If she gets worse with anything and gets weird you could always keep searching.
Is my therapist crossing boundaries?
