No I don't. I am not that interesting and the woman probably does not remember me from week to week. I assume she has bigger issues in her life than dealing with me.

I don't know if he's seeing a T to begin with.

But if he does, I think he might mention me once in a while.
Not because I'm special to him or anything, but because he has told me that I'm his first client to experience erotic transference and might want to ask his T about how to handle it.

Oh sure, I'm sure my T has probably brought me up to some of his coworkers - I'm pretty sure I confuse him a bit because I started therapy with already having a lot of self-awareness and he isn't used to that - so I'm sorta all over in the fact that things just don't go in the normal order/process. Then again, maybe he hasn't. It wouldn't bother me if he talked to others to sort things out for me or other clients - I think it's sometimes the way to do your job the best. Sometimes a new perspective is really beneficial.

I know my T has discussed my case with the pdoc he works with; he's told me he has. The main time was when I was having some severe side effect issues and he was trying to get some information for me quickly. I doubt he mentioned me by name as that wasn't necessary, but it wouldn't have particularly bothered me either way. Got some helpful input by the way.
Thanks for this!

I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised, only because a lot of times in talking to me she tends to have an epiphany of her own. But I doubt she'd go into too many details. I do wonder, as she is an intern, what she tells the person she reports to about "this case", etc. But even if she did, I trust her to keep things confidential and nameless, so no biggie.

Yes she does and I'm happy she does. As her fellow colleagues all have different specialties and can give her advice that she can use and implement in our session.

I know she does, as she tells me what her supervisor says.
For example, she was telling her supervisor something that i said a few weeks ago and apparently her supervisor said that i am "Carrying deep emotional wounds".

Sometimes it makes me feel better to her comments like that, it helps me to believe that my trauma IS trauma, and not just me being stupid and over reacting to stuff.

My T says he talks about clients to his supervisor (without revealing identifying details) but it isn't recommended to do supervision and therapy with the same person. So, if he is still in T, I don't think he talks about me.

considering my T does see a therapist, and that she told me she has thought a LOT about something I did in therapy (I may or may not have self injured in her bathroom when she didn't show up) because I instantly blamed myself, I think I might have come up that week. She has told me that we have a lot of similarities, so I think that when something comes up in my life thats really significant, and really affects her, maybe once in a while she will mention me in her therapy.

I don't know if my t sees her own t. I do know that she talks about her clients to her coworker (something that I don't like). I know that she tries to get insight or other perspectives. She doesn't tell me a lot in detail but I get the feeling that she has talked about me quite a bit with her coworker.

I know my old T does. She told me that when we were first getting started, she relayed a lot of my story to her supervisor because she was overwhelmed and didn't know how to handle the situation. I'm not sure how much she has talked to her supervisor about me recently. But I would imagine she has considering how stressful me being in the hospital has been for the both of us.

My T in the residential community... I don't know if she has or not. I imagine she would talk about pressing issues in her life including her job. I've kinda been a handful with my frequent panic attacks and dissociation. But at the same time, she was out most of Thursday dealing with a "crisis situation". Patients needing a highly structured residential community all require a lot of help and time so mine may not stick out. I wouldn't want her to bring me up as a time crunch though. I know she talks about me to the other Ts in the program. I don't have an issue with that.

I don't think my T talks about me to anyone. she has very good boundaries and am sure just shuts things off when she is out of office. I also think I am quite ordinary par for the course basket case for her. nothing new.

No, I don't think he does. If he did, all he would say is I feel bad taking her money because I am actually crazier than her. She should be counselling me.
I think my T thinks I'm more together than I really am. Because I talk about painful issues so csually and matter of factly, and not emotively he can't see the damaged little girl inside. He only sees intellectual, analytical leanne who seems to have all the answers already. This is why I need a new T. He just doesn't get it or me.
