When I was 18 I saw my first T who was in her 60's. I had an evening job working with the elderly. We always had a hug at the end of sessions and one time I innocently said 'I'm going to look after old people now.' I didn't mean it the way it sounded but as soon as the words were out of my mouth I cringed horribly. She didn't say anything but I was so embarrassed. Many years on I still feel embarrassed when I think about it.
