i've never really seen my T out in the real world, though i did see my DBT therapist out and about one afternoon. she was with her boyfriend and kind of didn't even want to recognize me. she obviously did, and it was awkward...

though in my DBT class i did hear alot about people with EDs who would go out to dinner with their T's. some of them were involved in IOP programs with EDs, and part of the program was once a week they all went out to eat, and once a week they ordered in. that seems important to them.
