Online therapy has opened doors for so many people. It’s accessible, convenient, and can feel less intimidating than sitting face-to-face in an office. But just because you’re meeting on screen doesn’t mean you should turn your boundaries off.
Therapy can be vulnerable—it’s kind of the point. You’re opening up about things you might not be able to share with anyone else, so when your therapist asks a deeply personal question, it can feel… confusing.
Therapy is your time. It’s where you get to unpack your thoughts, work through feelings, and figure out your next steps with someone there to guide you. So, what does it mean when your therapist keeps steering the conversation toward their own life?
Your therapist should be open to your questions and concerns about where discussions might be leading. These discussions allow you to better understand your therapy and feel empowered in your own mental health journey.
Visiting a client’s home is an ethical boundary violation. The only possible exception may be if the courts or social services are involved – but that would be very rare and only done in an official capacity.
