I have never seen T outside if session. Once she asked if I was going to the band concert for the school I work at that night. I asked why? She said because her grandkids were in the band and she heard it was going to be a good concert. I puposely did not go, just so I would not have the chance of seeing her outside of session. I would feel weird seeing her in the "normal" world.

Pdoc on the other hand, I have seen outside of appointments. When I first moved during the summer 2012, I changed my address for my file at pdocs. He looked at the address and asked what streets it was located between because it looked familiar. I told him and he goes "oh we're neighbors, I live in _____ Estates" I was horrified that he lived so close to me now. I have seen him in the groceryn store a few times, to which I would purposely quickly turn around and go down a different asile to avoid him. Then one time when I was out in my grandma's pasture with her getting something out of her barn (her pasture backs up against some backyards of ______ Estates), I saw pdoc in his backyard. He smiled and said hi, so I pretended like I didn't know him and he was just being neighborly and said hi back. I don't know if he recognized me or not (maybe he was just being neighborly and saying hi), but it was really weird.

When T and I lived in the same city Ive seen her twice. One time my inner kid (Im DID) was out so he SHRIEKED her name across the restaurant. It startled her, and others. The other time we were texting and were both at the store at the same time. I passed her while she got in the car.

My inner kids always hope to run into her though its not likely now. But theyve nearly tackled 2-3 people they thought/hope was T in public.

T and I live just 3 miles apart, down the same major street. I have NEVER seen her anywhere but at her office, even living in such close proximity. I went through a short phase where I looked for T everywhere I went, just hoping I'd see her out and about. I'm not quite sure why...I think I just wanted to feel more connected to T or maybe wanted to just have some kind of different interaction with her. That lasted about a month or so and then it faded - about when I started feeling more connected to T IN sessions.

Now, I'm not quite sure what I'd do if I saw T outside of a session. I'm really bad about recognizing people outside of where I'm used to seeing them. There's a good chance I wouldn't even recognize T if I saw her outside of her office. I had two friends shopping in the aisle next to me at the grocery store and didn't notice them until they said something. Assuming I did recognize her, I'd probably just say hi and move on.

I did pass T on the freeway once - I was her first appointment in the morning, and I recognized her car as I passed her. I realized that meant I'd get to the office first, so I sat in the car in the parking lot for a few minutes to give her time to get up to her office first.
