So I finally saw my old T last week. It was a really good session, but I am almost 100% sure that she is having health problems.

She told me before I stopped seeing her that she might have to retire b/c of health issues, then right before I left to start DBT she said she would stay and kind of made it seem like everything was OK and it was just a scare.

Then, when I saw her on Thursday, she was noticeably heavier. Like 50 pounds heavier-her face looked like it had blown up (I know that sounds mean but I'm not trying to be, that's the only way I can describe it.) I highly doubt she gained this much weight b/c of eating-she is an ED therapist after all.

Also, she was wearing tennis shows. I have never, ever in 2.5 years of seeing her, seen her wear tennis shoes. I asked my mom, who is a doctor, what she thought, and she said prednisone, a type of steroid medication, will make someone gain a lot of weight and swell up their face exactly like I described.

She never discloses anything about herself, but I kind of feel like it is the elephant in the room....I mean she looked completely different. I know that it is her prerogative to tell or not tell me this stuff, but I am wondering if it is appropriate to ask about her health.
