On the other hand, she didn't kick me out or treat me differently. She was curious about why I did it, and I think she accepted my reasons of wanting to know more about her and be closer. She knew I wasn't a stalker.
I had another T whose house I drove by also. She didn't say anything negative to me but when I stopped seeing her she said at the time she wasn't sure if she wanted to keep me as a client.
I don't think I told my first T that I drove by her house. I wasn't seeing her anymore when I started watching her in her office, and I understand her being scared and upset with me when I told her.
Fortunately my other two Ts did therapy in their homes!!!

My T also worked from an office built onto his house. It would take me a long time to pull myself together enough to actually leave so I would be sitting outside in my car. In fact, in the first year or so, I sometimes had to page after an hour or two after the appointment was over as I seemed to get STUCK. After he spoke to me for a minute or two the anxiety would subside and the *paralysis* would go.
Once he drove out, saw me still sitting there and just happily waved goodbye!
As I improved these episodes stopped occurring.
