No, this kind of freaks me out too, actually. I'm not sure why.

I told T once that I posted on a board, and I told him some of the responses and how helpful they were, and he asked "do you mind if I ask the name of the website?" and I literally said "yes, I do" (nicely, of course! lol). It just felt weird in that moment to either picture T coming here, or T recommending it to another client. And I wanted to have time to think before I decided to tell him what website it was. (and it never came up again after that)

I think it feels weird to me because I am CHOOSING to write things about myself but my T isn't choosing to be included...so if another one of his clients was here, that would just feel odd to me.

When I was growing up, NOT TELLING was the hugest deal in the world. I promised myself that when I grew up, I would NEVER tell my kids "don't tell". (so they are free to walk around blabbing about any stupid moments I have to anyone and everyone! lol). I remind myself a lot that "don't tell" isn't a rule with T. There is nothing secret (except the things I bring to him, and parts of his story that he's told to me..he didn't tell me to not tell, but I just wouldn't). It's actually kind of hard for me to wrap my brain around. In fact, I've never even told this to T, because it just feels so confusing and difficult and kind of scary. Huh.

Anyhow, that's my very long way of saying "nope, you're not alone!"

Thanks for this!
