Well, actually I don't think I'll be taking a class with my therapist but I like the idea.

See, I told her I was signing up for an enrichment class at the local college. She commented that that was a subject that interested her also. I said, "good, sign up for it and we can enjoy discussing the topic a bit each week." Of course, she didn't really respond to that suggestion because I also just moved the conversation between us forward.

Now, I'm sure she will not sign up for class because I suspect there are ethical considerations.

But, I'd like to know for sure if ethics would prevent her from taking a class that I am taking. Probably common sense prevails - a therapist should not enter the client's personal domain - but are there really strict ethical guidelines that would frown upon such an intersection of therapist and client's lives?

Still, I would totally love taking a class with her if she were able.
