How are romantic and/or sexual relationships dealt with?
Members of the PT community must be free to be open with one another since close relationships and trust are vital. The effects of romantic and sexual involvement tend to be powerful, distracting, and wrought with tension. The people who are involved with one another are not the only ones who are affected — other PT members (and staff) feel the impact as well. All of this gets in the way of our collective work. These are the reasons why we expect members to refrain from romantic and/or sexual relationships with one another.
