Solo travel is having a moment—and it’s no surprise that women are leading the charge.Ironically, my first experience with the joy of solo travel happened while I was still married. I traveled to Budapest for an early childhood education conference, hoping to broaden my research for the doctorate I was working on. I left my two young children—ages 2 and 5—at home with my husband, and suddenly, I was in a place where I could do whatever I wanted.There was something luxurious about watching a movie, reading a book, and walking the city without the usual distractions of parenthood.

And yet, that exact scenario is what’s sparking a wave of discourse (and controversy) on social media.In a viral, multi-part series, one TikTok user explained how she developed feelings for her psychiatrist—a confession that quickly opened up a conversation about what’s normal (and what’s not) when bonds form in the therapy room. Was this genuine love? A boundary violation? A projection of the patient’s fantasies? According to mental health experts, part of…
