Please put on your therapist hat and pose a question to me about this situation.

I am curious to see my therapist outside of the office, what is she like, is she the same? Plus it sounds like her parents are warm and loving to her and to each other, and I'm always keen to observe a functional family

Her father is an artist, and his work is on display at a local gallery which is holding a reception on Saturday, family will be there (per Facebook). I'm considering going, which I definitely regard as a boundary crossing and believe she would as well.

At this point I'm asking myself WHY - why do I want to go? what do I hope to see? what reaction do I hope for? do I tell her ahead of time, ask permission? I'm trying to understand why I might choose to do this, so that if I do attend I'll have some insight into my motivation (vs. just due to lack of self-control).


(Unfortunately I don't have an appointment for several weeks due to her full schedule .)
