I do this also. The therapist who helped us find a path towards helping our son who was displaying very aggressive behavior and was a pre-schooler at the time - I think about him often. And I wonder what he is doing and how his family is etc etc. Even though we did not spend a ton of time with him, he was just so pivital in getting the path started that helped my son that he will forever be special to me.

When I've run into him in public, I always feel nervous or giddy or something - it is very annoying and confusing to me that I react that way. I don't know what it all means and I never really paid attention to whether I'm spending too much time thinking about him. I don't think it is too much time - but I never really thought about it until I read your post and all the replys. I wonder if it could be that when you make a human connection that touches you deeply and personally - it makes a profound impact.

I suppose that if you are concerned or bothered by your thoughts about this therapist, perhaps you could make contact with him to work through it. Its better then suffering. And if it doesn't help, you will be no worse off.

good luck
