It's a public event. Did the T come to see the client specifically, or were they coming to see the play anyway. Depending on where we live and what we do for a living, I think it is always within the realm of possibility that we are going to run into our T's outside the therapy room. It's what is done with that experience, if anything, inside the therapy room that makes a difference. For example, my last T saw me at a social event. She and I did not, however, socialize with each other. She did mention at my next visit that she had "observed me interacting with others" and that knowing how depressed I was she knew that it must have been really hard work for me to be so warm and welcoming to others. Part of me wanted to go ballistic! What the hell was she doing "observing me"? And part of me was touched that she cared enough to do so and that she understood how difficult it was for me (because it was and is). Now that I think about it, I never discussed with her that I was upset in the least. Maybe I should have. I do know that from that point on I avoided events where I thought she might be present.
