Have you ever asked out your therapist?

that's strange question which seems to suggest everyone has a Therpaist like they have Postman./mail carrier.....

For example the vast majority of people in the UK have never seen a Therapist , for anything much less ask one out...

Git outta my head! :giggle: I was going to type that it's a strange question and you'd already typed it. Yeah, and I suppose it would cross some ethics boundaries, no? Okay, let me go look. Yep...

"Dating a current patient is universally unethical and prohibited for therapists due to the inherent power imbalance, vulnerability, and potential for exploitation, causing severe harm,
with professional codes strictly forbidding sexual intimacy."

No. I once went to a psychologist, but the idea wouldn't have crossed my mind. I was the patient and he was the super normal person helping me. I don't think he would have taken that serious. And it was just a friendly guy.

I was under the impression it ranged from unethical to illegal for there to be any type of personal relationship between individuals and those they deal with on a professional level.

It is. Any sort of personal relationship, even after therapy has ended, is in direct violation of the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct.

That said, I believe you are in the UK, @roman gupta, correct?

I have no idea what the guidelines in other countries are.

So, did your therapist say yes? Or did you not ask her yet?

It's not uncommon for people to be attracted to their therapists.

Mine was a man. Good-looking guy, but I'm heterosexual.

No, its a woman, I called her a ho once and she was ok with that, I would talk to her a lot about Otis Booard. I bumped into her the other day and then I emailed her asking if she would like to meet up for a coffee. I guess I'm just hoping that she was genuinely interested in Otis Booard rather than taking an interest from a therapeutic point of view or as something she was just getting paid for.

She is older than me and plain, not sure if it's a physical thing?
