Hi I really need some advice here. I have a new male client who has been coming to me for the three or four weeks. He is a very sweet natured. But I have a feeling that he has got learning difficulties. I have two children that are both high functioning autistic. This young man appears to have similar problems. To my sons. Not that I'm saying he is autistic. I can just see that he has some of the same traits.
He has started having aromatherapy treatments. Which have been helping him a lot with his anxiety and depression. I have told him that he can only have one treatment per week. I have also done his eyebrows for him. He has been trying to book in two or three times a week.
Now that I have been firm with him. He is now asking me for other treatments. Such as having his toe nails cut or his toe nails painted. Or asking me to wax his legs.
I have told him I can't wax his legs as he got sensitive skin. He is also sending me messages on Facebook.
This situation is making me feel uncomfortable. This young man obviously has problems and I have encouraged him to go to gp and ask his gp to refer him for counciling. As he has had some traumatic experiences in his past.
It is not that he is being a perve. Or anything like that. It just obvious that he is starting to become dependant
He obviously needs the aromatherapy treatments. He has obviously experienced a lot of rejection in his past too.
I really do not know how to handle this situation. I want to be able to help him. But this is way out of my league. But at the same time I don't want to be yet another person who has rejected him.
I think he just likes the attention.
