I don't disagree with this. I don't see a need to feign ignorance or not speak with someone, but that's different than what you've said at other places in this conversation, and different than some of the scenarios you've described. I just suggest you try not to expect a therapist to be willing, able, or interested in having a long conversation with you outside of the paid therapy hour. If you do, it's just going to set you up for an unrealistic understanding of what you're doing in therapy and disappointment when your expectations don't fit reality.
Are you focusing really hard on this scenario because you're worried about getting back into therapy? Do you think this might be a fantasy diversion?
