Dear Rebecca,
Thanks for your response and yes it seems there is a fine line. Your situation of talking about energy exchange seems appropriate. To do it for the best interest of student/client or feedback to get more perspective etc. I've done that as well in similar situations.
I've had a Rolfing person do consultation about me with a counselor who referred me to her for my best interest as well and it was disconcerting as they talked about me openly as I listened. They were not too subtle; worked in the same bldg. and referred clients to each other.
I just hope I can be sensitive and confidential all the time and pray I never resort to name dropping.
thanks again,
blessings,
Prosperity
