I remember when I was little, I used to think that my elementary school teacher would LIVE at school? And their sole life force and being is focused only being a teacher at school? Little would I know that they actually had a life? Had a home? Had a family? Friends? That sort of deal? I'm pretty sure a lot of people had that thought too.
It's kinda weird when my T would talk about some things about his life and I kinda get those flashbacks of my childhood thought of teachers exist only being teachers. My T has his own life. Wow. I kinda find that scary. That there's some random stranger walking in the streets that know who I am and what I'm all about.
I mean... what if they talk about their certain patients/clients to their lover? Their friends? Like....
"My god! I had this really annoying client today! Who is....-"
And I know they have this whole client privacy thing but still... with bunches of mental records and people's past histories in their heads... it kinda gives them a sort of "power". Well... I think so.
Does that knowledge make it uncomfortable you too? It seriously does for me. Sometimes I wish I can pull back memories or change them... like Professor Xavier from X-men.
