[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider this a massive breach of ethics. Especially if the guest list is public!! But even if not, he should clearly state that it’s a party for a book launch and that all former clients are invited, not make vulnerable people think that they’re being invited to a social event when that clearly (to the rest of us) is not the case.[/quote]

OP Thanks. I did not mistake it for a social/romantic invitation. It felt like a different type of breach of professional ethics and a public disclosure of a therapeutic relationship without my consent in hopes of gaining $$$. For a guy who talked extensively about boundaries it felt extra unexpected. I can imagine that there are people who saw it as a different type of predatory invite or who might feel compelled to go and purchase due to the nature of the relationship. Just icky on many levels.

And it has me really questioning my judgement of people and professional norms for therapeutic relationships. [/quote]
