Agreed on the awkwardness of running into other clients. I suppose that's one positive of virtual sessions? (which I'm still doing--hoping to be back in person soon!) I was particularly bothered once when I saw my former marriage counselor hug someone, as to my knowledge, he didn't allow hugs. Also, when I was dealing with some erotic (and paternal) transference, and he walked out a late teens/early 20s girl who was dressed a bit provocatively. And another time when he greeted a client in the lobby by touching his knee.

Anyway, I'd bring it up with your therapist. That sounds especially awkward, what happened in the waiting room with the other client.
Thanks for this!
