    There’s a pretty obvious mis-use of the term “red flag” in this post. “There just isn’t chemistry” might be a valid reason to move to a different therapist, but it’s not a “red flag” even if that remains true after a year with them. A red flag isn’t an incompatibility in a relationship, it’s a warning sign of danger, or at the very least of something that should be considered an objective failure that makes them worth not just avoiding yourself, but recommending others do the same.

      Sorry, I didn’t mean for that term to apply to the specific items I called out from the list. What I was trying to say was for other items on this list, like a romantic attraction coming from the therapist, those can be things should be taken seriously and have justification for immediate concern.

        Sunny apologise, I was agreeing with and reinforcing your point, not disagreeing or correcting!
