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.
Well like I just said every situation is different, no matter how you want to look at something meeting at the supermarket IS NOT the same as meeting at an intimate type gathering (such as burning man) and these are the 2 extreme points with many other places in between, such as a social gathering like the motor-sports trade show.
