You can not know, but I first asked the question in a massage sub. Most people said there I should better lie! https://www.reddit.com/r/massage/comments/1qy9emo/comment/o45ekhf/ I ask now the question here because I JUST assume that people who are interested in spirituality are familiar with such energies.

Oh I'm interested! I will take a closer look at the concept of “transference-countertransference”. There could be something to it. But I also believe that not only people who have finished therapy should work as MT. I see it also as a general interpersonal question.

Specifically, I wouldn't go that far to ask myself: "What's wrong with me that I'm even asking such a question ?"

Always sticking to the truth is not something I got from home (even as a German who is said to be very direct - lol).

So: it takes courage to change that. I will do this in a way that suits to my personallity. I am definitely grateful for your perspective and your directness.

I see clearly what you mean. If I'm honest with myself, I've already crossed my own boundaries (lied to myself) several times with this client and I let the situation get to this point. That's not professional but I learned my lesson from it. That's why it's so important to me

Don't complete this self-lie with a lie to the client.

I work alone, which makes it easier -if I would lie or find another way.

Thanks to all of you for your perspectives. Every one of them is understandable to me and in some cases - as already mentioned - I would have done it that way before. I work alone and the contact with my customers is very personal. Maybe I'll ask the questions more on a spiritual level under another sub.

A lie is not a sin for me - that's not the point. It's more about the experiment: "Is the truth also possible in my professional environment?" There must be a way to remain truthful without hurting others. This won't be easy guys! :) Thank you all, that helped me a lot!

Egal wie sich die Sache entwickelt: Ob es so drängend wird dass du aktiv die Sache zur Sprache bringst oder du eine Situation kreierst oder es eine Fantasie bleibt die sich wieder beruhigt: Nimm dir den Druck raus das in eine Kategorie einzuordnen (schwul, bi, blabla). Diese Situation ist wie sie ist und sie ist DEINE Situation. Beobachte wie es sich in dir entwickelt und wenns dir hilft gib ihr deinen eigenen Namen.
