"A patient of mine told me she was sleeping with a married man, and the guilt was eating her alive," she started, referring to the first red flag.
The patient disclosed that the man was on the verge of leaving his wife for her, but she was conflicted.
According to the client, she was in love with her affair partner but felt guilty about 'being a homewrecker'.
Why can't the counsellor confront them?
The psychologist advised the patient the best way she could, but the confession did not stir any suspicion in her mind.
It was only a few days later that she realised the marriage on the verge of being wrecked was hers.
"Later that week, my husband told me he's leaving me for a woman he's been sleeping with," the heartbroken psychologist explained.
It dawned on her, albeit too late, that her husband had been having a fling with her patient, but she didn't notice the signs.
To compound her woes, she can tell either of them because of the confidentiality clauses.
Counselor Lillian Mandu's take on the quagmire
When reached for comment, psychologist Lillian Mandu told TUKO.co.ke that reconsidering the confidentiality clause would be prudent in such a case.
She advised the woman to get a fellow therapist to walk her through it because her emotions would prevent her from seeing the way ahead objectively.
"It is not easy because two adults in your face have made the decision to disrespect you," she asserted.
Mandu added that a strong-minded person would cut losses and figure out how to start again from square one.
The prudent decision would be to stop the therapy sessions and then get a lawyer to support her through the separation while ignoring the client side chick.
