Two of my past therapists came to my house. They both worked with my husband, one of them working at my husband's office 2 or 3 days per week. But the reason the first came to my house was to give me advice on decorating. Something felt wrong about that, and I don't think it was appropriate. I heard a couple of years later that he got his license suspended for having an affair with a client. The other one came over because he was good friends with my husband, and it was social. He knew my kids and took us out to dinner sometimes. I wasn't doing much real work in therapy then though. We continued socializing with him after I stopped seeing him for therapy, until I had a bad relapse and went back to therapy, and it was more intense. Then it became more awkward to see him socially. I went on a hike with him and my husband and someone else from the office once, and I climbed up on a rock, and T offerred me a hand to climb down, and I couldn't take his hand and jumped down instead. It was wierd.
My current T, I probably will never see out of the office since she lives so far away. But sometimes she travels near my area, and I am so tempted to go where she is supposed to be, and look for her. I don't know what I would say if I did see her though. Last week I met T's sister, who looks and sounds very much like her. T's sister is the director of clinical training at the university I want to apply to, and I had never met her before. Neither did she know anything about me. But I wanted to ask her for a hug, and I was nervous talking to her.
