How naive are people?? Or how bad at simple arithmetic? You are not the only person that the T sees. The T is probably not the only person that you encounter in your daily life. Unless you're living under the Taliban.

If the issue comes up, it MEANS you have ALREADY have the issue and you should probably take this opportunity to work on it. Isn't that why you're in therapy? If you go to the doctor and you think you have cancer and he says not cancer but alzheimers, then what do you try to fix??
