I don’t think I want to know T outside a professional capacity. If I saw T in public, I’d nod, perhaps give a brief ‘hello’ and be on my way. If T didn’t see me, I might avoid him completely. I don’t want to see my T as more than just a person 100% dedicated to me and my issues. It’s the only selfish relationship I have J Although I’d love more of the undivided attention and care, I know I couldn’t replicate the same feeling I get in therapy in everyday life. Real life T has needs and issues that I don’t want to deal with. It’s like the person you have a crush on, that all of a sudden starts returning the feelings… and you spend time with them and realize you don’t have much in common at all.
Boundaries exist for a reason… and I know it’s tempting to fantasize, but the fantasy is always better than reality IMHO.
