I am so glad you addressed this. My students were discussing it in my class and of course it's come up with my hypno-buddies. So, I am going to play this for them.
Hypnofixatist, now how would that be abbreviated HF? LOL! Nice to see the HI Cal episode!!!
As you mentioned, different professions have different spoken and unspoken rules and guidelines around this issue of the dual relationship. I often have met people who are friends as well as patients of their doctors, dentists, hygienists, laywers, etc.
Some organizations have set limitations on how much time must elapse between the end of treatment and the go ahead for a social connection. Often it is two years, sometimes I've seen one year, but I think the APA standard is never. Given that kind of spread, what do you think would be a reasonable time period for our profession?
This is a very tricky issue for hypnotists living in very small communities. Would you advise them to go focus on going out of community to look for clients?
Loving all your podcasts,
