I used to see my former T a lot since we live about 15 minutes from each other and attend some of the same events. It's strange but since I quit therapy with her I only ran into her once!

I never really got used to seeing her "around town." I always felt like I HAD to talk to her, but it was awkward. She would talk briefly to me; she never ignored me. Sometimes I felt better knowing she was where I was; sometimes I felt worse. In a couple of weeks, I am going to see her for sure at a party. I don't think I care anymore, but it will still seem strange.

Seeing her in another environment did make her seem more "human", as you say. But I was frustrated because I had to "pretend" not to know her so well in front of others. I felt like I was acting! I also wanted to talk to her as my T at those times, but I couldn't.

So, it's going to feel weird to see your T in RL, no matter what, I think.
