But just as we stay out of our parents' bedrooms and private lives in general, and want our own friends, same goes for T's.

So true. I love my therapist in the confines of her office, where our time together is limited and there are prescribed rules of conduct. But outside, it's fair game. She can already be *****y in session, so I can just imagine how she is with waitstaff in restaurants. She speaks of her husband in loving terms, but there's something about her that makes me think she can be a screaming nag. She seems patient and all-forgiving in session, but who could keep that up in real life? And why should she?
My problems with people usually crop up when I see "how they really are". My therapist may be a beautiful person outside of the office, but I'm too afraid to find out.
