I told her and she asked if she could make an appt with her and I said my T probably wouldn't go for it because it is a conflict of interest. She works for a practice and it is a clear rule that they can't see close friends or relatives of clients. My mom agreed she wouldn't call but ended up doing so 2 months later... And since she is a main talking point in my sessions, that's probably why my T wanted to tell me.

That sounds like it was handled appropriately then since she made your mother aware that she would let you know and I assume your mother agreed that she could share that with you.

Don't think that info would be particularly a problem search-wise by the way. The problem comes with much more identifying information generally.

Everyone is different.

Indeed we are. I neither love nor hate the woman.
She simply is not in my circle of people I think about in a personal way. But to be honest - I did not contact anyone to wish them happy new year. People who are close to me, I will say something to when I see them.

My T wished me happy New Year in our Monday session and I emailed her this morning with New Year wishes and to check in. We do a lot of email.

Didn't even cross my mind. I'll see him, in a few days. I can ask how his new year is treating him, then.

She got my Christmas card on New Years Eve (via snail mail) so she emailed me thanking me for the card and wished me a hny via email. I matched her email in length with a quick reply wishing her the same.

But it was in my Christmas card anyway even if she hadn't emailed me so I likely would not have emailed her.

The first one I see uses a cell phone for her office number. The second one has her cell phone number on her card.

I think i saw this on dr phil or The Closer or something recently. Where the client's partner wanted to tell the t what the client should be working on!! The t has no professional obligation to the partner - the partner is not the t's client. But the t did tell the client that the partner contacted the t and everything the partner said.

I think it's like in court when they say, the person on the witness stand "opened the door" by offering the information.

Mine didn't give me her cell number per say, she called me from it when we were trying to schedule our first session. She mentioned that she didn't make a habit of giving it out but she knew it was sometimes necessary to do her job.

Two months after starting T I chose to just delete it because nothing good could come of keeping it.

Nope. I 'splurged' on texting T with 25 texts in one night a couple of weeks ago. No way am I going to text her again for a long long time. She's getting a vacation from me.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
