scorpiosis37- I very much appreciate your comment and I do agree somewhat but still there is no comparison from an intimate gathering and a clients "main" personal life (such as family, friends ect.) in the case of an intimate gathering since it rarely conflicts with anything going one in the Therapists personal life outside of the gathering, and I feel the same way about my "main" personal life (I wouldn't want me Therapist to know anything about it- or at least almost anything).

Also while I can't force you do anything I would strongly discourage you from completely leaving an intimate gathering should you see one of your students there, I am not saying that you have to interact with them (although I do see it as appropriate should you decide to) but you shouldn't leave because of them.

Personal if my Therapist still saw me as her client there it would ruin the spirit of the gathering, which is to discard any and all titles that you may have.
