I looked through a lot of the discussions to see if there was something but didn't see anyone mentioned their clients "falling in love" with them. I worked in mental health for a long time that I do understand it's Transference, however in mental health the lines are a lot more clear-cut on dealing with it. One discussion then if the person doesn't change their behavior, they need to be fired as a client. Is that how it goes here?
So far I have tried setting boundaries, very often they are ignored then when I mention it's not ok the person says it's a joke. The cycle continues like a dog chasing its tail to where I've had to just cut people off which could have been regulars. They also reacted poorly to what they perceived as rejection but was actually me holding the boundaries they have been told many, many, MANY times & unfortunately sometimes they already had my information cuz this was after our cuddles.
Because of this I'm considering not hosting anymore. I've had a few people now not respect that this is a profession for me so they pursue me in a very unhealthy, disrespectful way that completely ignores my no.
Any tips appreciated! Especially if you are a cuddler who has gone through this & come out the other side successfully, please teach me your ways 🙌
