I once accidentally stumbled onto something the client before me wrote on a notepad and left in our T's office. Our T had gone to the bathroom, I saw the notepad, immediately realized what it was & STOPPED reading it and put it on his desk then alerted him when he got in. All I know is that it said "I am the saddest girl in the world." I've often wished I read the rest of it but also glad that I didn't.
For the most part, I don't think about T's other clients. A few sparing thoughts of "I'm scared of being replaced by someone new who is more interesting" or "other peoples' trauma is so much worse and more valid than mine."
I obsessed over my ex-T's clients and couldn't even go into the building until I was sure they had left. But, it's not like that with this T. Ex-T talked about his clients a lot, and this one doesn't...so that's different...but our relationship is also just more secure.
