In very large, urban towns we put our heads down walking at times we are not in session. The therapist give us stickers to stay out of each others way. We can easily walk into to each other. Especially in China a place that I visited that suggested the same thing......Ask your therapist for distinctive mark so that the significant other caring side doesn't interfere with what is actually most appropriate to be. Transference will be discussed soon enough. So basically, when in doubt ask for a list of pro's and cons.
