I've had a few that I've shared before, one time being when I stepped out of her office after a hard session, still crying, and walked right into a wedding procession passing her door (her building holds various events) AND a photographer took a picture at that moment. My therapist said I wasn't in the picture, but she wasn't in the hallway to see it and I know what I saw--the lens of a camera pointed at me. It's not like it was an outdoor venue and the subjects were some distance away. I was in the middle of things. It was humiliating and I felt horribly exposed. The next awful embarrassment was having a maintenance worker outside her office, up on a ladder outside a very high window. I caught a glimpse of him before he ducked from view. What he would have seen in the office is very embarrassing to me and I still have not gotten over it. It may be the undoing of my therapy. My therapist has not shown any understanding of how it has impacted me or why these things have been a problem. I don't think a reasonable person would be okay with either of these things happening.
