I've never had that reaction to running into therapists, etc. For one, I'm a teacher and have seen my students have that reaction when they run into me (kind of like -- Mrs. A actually goes to the grocery store? Wow!), but more often they are happy to see me and we take a few minutes to talk. For another, this particular therapist was my pastor long before we started doing therapy, so we had worked together on church projects, I'd attended his classes, heard his sermons, etc. Encountering him outside the context of our therapy sessions was very normal and common and never bothered me even after I started seeing him as my therapist. So we were friends and fellow church members all along which is probably more the context in which we were visiting last night. We spoke very little about our time in therapy; fortunately, that era has passed for me and I didn't really feel the need or desire to rehash it last night. We were just enjoying catching up on our personal lives/family, etc. since we had last seen each other.
