 Now, we will see some general red flags in therapeutic relationship. Need to enhance one's own self-esteem. This is very important that relying on client's presence or to praise, to evaluate how you feel about yourself is something which is oftenly seen by the therapist that they tend to see that how the client is going to praise them. So, this reflects a very low self-esteem of a professional because we do not have to boost our self-esteem from someone's praise, in fact, we have to boost the client's self-esteem from our therapeutic practice. Believing that you are the only therapist who can help a particular client. Some people think that only those experts who can help the client, this also comes into a very bad kind of self-esteem that you assume that no one else is better than you. Then, indulging in rescue fantasies. This kind of fantasy of thinking that this situation will become troublesome. I will help the client in this way. For example, when we talk about daydreaming, rescue fantasies are that a mental health professional keeps thinking that if I get a call, an individual has done a self-harm, a societal attempt, I will help him in this way, I will follow this plan for him. So, thinking about these kinds of things, these fake fantasies are also a red flag. Then promising a client that you will be his or her savior. You cannot be anyone's savior, you can only be a torch bearer. And it is very important to understand this, that we do not give any impression to the client that he becomes life-long dependent on a therapist. Feeling entitled to all the credit when a client improves, especially if a marked achievement is attained while under your care. If the client is behaving very well and improving as a result of any treatment, his symptoms are already getting better, then all the credit should not be taken by himself because in this, the family support, the client's willingness, and the rest of the factors are also contributing, then only taking your own credit will be unethical. Then expecting the client to fulfill your personal and social needs. Sometimes, thinking about such things that I can take someone's favour from a client, if he is from a good financial background, he is from a business family, I can take a part in his business, I can take a franchise, or I can take a loan from him. Planning such things and making a client your client is also a red flag. Then viewing one or more clients as among the central people in your life. Then simultaneously, if you start viewing those clients who can give you any kind of benefit, then understanding a central person of your life and thinking about them in your life is also a red flag. Because when we talk about the concepts of encounter transference in psychology, they all are basically based on these very values and principles in which a professional does not value the client in his life with whom he will create a personal relationship. Then fear of being rejected or client terminating therapy for financial and other reasons. Now encouraging a client to have dependence on yourself, that is, you discourage his autonomy and tell him there will be no problem, whenever there is a problem, you immediately have to contact me. For everything, you have to seek approval from me, you have to share your worries and stress with me. Basically, a therapist always makes a co-therapist at home. And the family leads it towards adjustment in life. But if the therapist keeps all the roles with him, then he basically undermines his autonomy. Then experiencing a feeling of dread on sensing that a client may decide to quit therapy. And it becomes difficult to think that a client, if he will end therapy, he will recover and leave, then what will the therapist do? So these all are unhealthy practices. Then resisting the process of terminating a client, despite clinical indicators says that termination is appropriate. That is, the therapy is complete, termination is due, it is needed, but still prolong it just because you don't want the client to leave. Because he likes you, because he likes you, because he is giving you financial favor, because you keep him company and feel good that he can do something about your life. So these are all the things that are unethical, they are counted as dead tags. Frequently allowing therapy sessions to go over the allotted time. That is, one hour session or 45 minutes session, but it is given more time than necessary, so this will be an unethical, professionally damaging way. Then negative feelings towards a client disapproving a non-compliant client. If a client is not complying with your instructions, disapproving it, giving negative feelings, delaying his appointments, if he is not thanking you or praising you, delaying his appointments, then feeling put off by a client for strongly resembling someone else whom you fear or detest. And last but not the least is that you don't like a client just because they don't like to see it, or you miss someone else, you feel that he resembles someone who is being once feared by yourself or something like that. So on the basis of your personal liking or disliking, disapproving a client and keeping that derogatory attitude with them are also red flags. Then general red flags are allowing a problematic relationship with a colleague to faster and accelerate. This is very important to understand that we cannot make a personal connection with any client because this is the biggest offense. Because it is a professional relationship and we cannot give it a personal touch. Being ignorant and misinformed with regard to the ethical expectations and standards of your profession and resources in your community in case of emergency, then being so ignorant that you don't know in case of emergency which sources can help provide that information to the community, and not give it proper information. As we must have seen, it is very clearly stated that if there are terrorist activities, then contact this number. If you want to do it for rescue, then do it for police, then do it for this. If there is an issue for COVID, then do it for this. So all these things should be on the tips of a therapist, and all the resources in your community should be their full knowledge. Then feeling uncomfortable discussing looming red flags that pertain to you with a trusted colleague for fear of being negatively judged. Now, as a therapist, he gets to know which red flags he is crossing and inappropriately behaving. After that, keep in mind that he should not discuss this problem with any colleague, assuming that he will be judged or people will misunderstand him. So in fact, last but not least is important that you are doing an unethical act and after that you are hiding him and you don't want to let others to know that you are crossing those red flags.
