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

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

Off the top of my ancient head:

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

How do I maintain and care for granite countertops in a coastal climate like Pompano Beach?

General Introduction to Boundaries from Panahi Counseling:

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

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

Newspaper headlines: Spending Review 'renewing Britain' or 'reckless splurge' - BBC

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

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.

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

What caused the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential campaign to implode so horrifically?

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

Obsessing about clients outside of work hours.

Serious disappointment when the client cancels a session.

Why are Democrats at Q so desperate that they keep taking down my links to comments that prove the residents in Ohio have been filing complaints about the Haitians eating the local wildlife from ponds in the local parks? Election interference

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