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.

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

Why do I want to give up on men?

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