I knew it was going to happen tonight. Many of you may remember that I used to see my former T around town. I knew I was going to a function where I would see her and I thought "what if they put us at the same table? That would be cool; I would sit next to her". Well, they did, and I did!
![]() It was fine. I felt very comfortable just talking to her. My friend, who knows my situation, told me afterward how pleased she was and we just looked "normal" together. ![]() So, I am wondering. Am I only comfortable with her now that she's not my T any more? I assume that's the reason. I used to panic when I'd see her in public though I learned to act more or less normal with her. I was also thinking that now, while I am in therapy with my T, I would be okay if she and I happened to be in the same circumstance. It won't happen though; my path does not cross my T's like with my former T. But if it did, I don't have that "she's a stranger feeling" with my T. She and have hugged, held hands, sat on the couch together, emailed, done meditation together, taken walks together. It's so different for me than it was with my other T. This T is there with me, and I like that. ![]() I just wanted to write this out and share it, as an interesting observation. |

I guess when you arent their client anymore, you would sort of see them as a proper human being (ie just like you or me). I guess its more obvious when you arent their client, that who you knew before was just a facade. Sort of like how people go to their job and they have a totally different personality. I guess now you can see that therapy is just their job, its not who they really are.

KazzaX; I have to disagree with you. My former T was not so different in therapy as out of therapy. It's I who was different, not her. She's kind of a "this is who I am" person. She acted interested in me the same in and out of therapy. I'm the one who changed my attitude.

oh gosh! I'm really not where you are in the process I guess... I don't have a former therapis yet (still with my first t for now) but I would choke on every bite if he was somewhere near me in a event (if we suppose that I didn't lose consciousness before the time we get to eat
