What are some signs that a therapist may have poor boundaries with their clients?

Serious disappointment when the client cancels a session.

Session-expressed curiosities about client details not relevant to the therapy.

Struggling with fantasies of deeper connections with clients, whether sexual or parental or other intense or intimate relationships beyond psychotherapy.

Why cant I stop thinking about counsellor between sessions?

Eager anticipation (or anxious anticipation) of the next session in ways that distract.

Disclosing feelings, fantasies, and experiences to the client in ways not related to the work the client is engaged in.

Frequent phoning or texting of clients to “check up on them and make sure they’re OK.”

Why didn’t Obito confront Kakashi after he witnessed him kill Rin?

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.

Off the top of my ancient head:

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

Failing to mention the client in supervision/consultation, out of fear the supervisor/consultant will advise return to ordinary healthy boundaries.

General Introduction to Boundaries from Panahi Counseling:

Sense of competition with persons who are important in the client’s life.

Where did Noah build the Ark? Was it in a desert or near water?

Routinely going over the time limit with certain patients, compromising the time for the next client.
