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

Obsessing about clients outside of work hours.

Off the top of my ancient head:

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

Why do Indian parents force their kids to do stuff?

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

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

General Introduction to Boundaries from Panahi Counseling:

How can fashion design be used to make a political statement in popular culture, and society?

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

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.

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

What is your favourite colour and why?

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

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

Serious disappointment when the client cancels a session.

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

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