Sorry but I can't make any sense of that advice from your counselor? It almost seems to border on being unethical to open such a Pandora's box with a patient. What good could come of it seems so minimal but the risks are enormous.
I don't take your examples to be the same because you did not say you were flirting or sending any kind of questionable signal. So can I assume you think he was a little off base too?
