This is sooo small, some people may not even see it as a big deal, but it was meaningful.

As some of you may know already my T's son takes a couple of classes at the school I work at. I have seen him when he dropped his son off a couple of times, b/c our front doors are locked and I happened to be there when he dropped him off. We had a school event recently that he was at.

Yesterday though, we had our annual Turkey day fest with the whole school k-12. When it was time to leave, I was walking in the parking lot and T was pulling up to pick up his son. I didn't realize it was him. He rolled down his window and talked to me and my daughter. He mentioed how cut my daugther's pilgrim looked, we talked about the dinner, just shot the breeze. It meant the world to me that he took the two mins to do that, instead of just waving at me and going on his way. I am not sure why it meant so much to me, but it did.

Ts so often tell us, "I can never be your friend", and "This is a therapeutic relationship". the relationship seems so skewed sometimes.

It's nice to be accepted as an equal!

I've never seen my t outside of therapy. I'm glad your t did that, it must have felt really good, I imagine it would mean a lot to me too if mine did that!

I would feel good if my T talked to me outside of T too. It's nice that your T did that, and it is for sure meaningful, not trivial!

For me, acknowledging me outside the four walls lets me know I'm a regular person, I'm okay, I'm not a dirty little secret, sneaking into a building to get my daily, weekly fix.

This fall my therapist and I attended the same concert series, and when I found out I invited her - challenged her - to come find me at intermission and meet my friends. The same ones we talk about. She did, and it was good conversation all around, not awkward at all for ~ 15 minutes.

I had told her months before that if she ever saw me in public that she was to approach me - despite boundaries...

So good for you healed84, a memory and comfort to lean on.
