Also another consideration is a breakup, which I didn't mention with the other stuff if you get into a relationship with someone you were in therapy with or were with as a co-worker that can cause an issue after like you no longer want a relationship and it should be clearly stated like that I no longer want a relationship, and the reason so that you don't leave the person hanging. Be aware that if you do engage in a relationship that that relationship needs counseling and therapy even after you connect with that person because you really have strong feelings for that person and so that's the reasonable thing to do just to be protected all the way through even as a therapist if you're going to engage with someone make sure that you do counseling with that person before you engage with each other you know the person might not be in the same realm of work that you do but they might be doing very important work as well and or whatever they do in their life that is just as important, regardless of what they do, and so making sure you both have a smooth relationship is really important being on the same level. I think that a lot of times couples get together and jealousy isn't talked about or nuances things that bother you, and it's really important therapy, and counseling is good for everyone. The counselor, and the therapist myself, and that person do need to be aware that you know it's really important to get priorities organized, and stabilized in their lives. If that person has another family slowly introducing them, if there's children involved same thing, if there's work habits that need to be said, what type of work is being done, if the person works independently that needs to be said, so people aren't just getting into reckless type of relationships, it's a way to better help your situation even if you're very attracted to the person whoever they are, and you can just continue on that sexual relationship or that plutonic relationship in a responsible manner when you counsel someone.
