I have had students who were registered sex offenders. The funny thing was that I had already gotten that sixth sense that there was something odd about them before I ever knew their status. I had something similar happen in a church recovery group. There was a man who just gave me the creeps. I told my pastor about that (he was also my counselor), and he said that was my survival instinct kicking in -- to trust my gut. Turns out he was a sex addict.

It's unlikely that you would get those kind of vibes by just passing someone in the waiting room. It takes more interaction than that to get that sense of something truly amiss.

The fact is, everyone our t's see is broken in some way, at least the way I look at it. Your t is a professional, and just because he treats offenders does not make him any less capable or empathetic to victims. In fact, it probably helps him see with broader eyes.
