I drove by my therapist’s house. She terminated as a result. I’m heartbroken and ashamed. She said she lost her objectivity as a result, but what does that mean? Would all therapists terminate as a result of their client breaking this boundary? - Quora
I remember fully on here how a member drove past her therapist house and the therapist saw her. She was immediately terminated. It was sooo devastating for her as it would be for me too if that happened. She posted it on quora as well.
I would never go out of my way to drive past my T's house for fear of being terminated and the extreme shame I would feel. I know exactly where he lives too. If I did drive past his house I would never tell him as I would not feel like I needed forgiveness or redemption from him.
If OP wants some kind of therapy around this issue she could bring up in session that she learned where T lives and always feels the urge to drive past her house. It then can be safely discussed.
