Most people know I'm in therapy, but only one person knows her name and has her number. She's even talked to my T before. She's definitely my emergency contact person.

I have a few close friends (3) who know I'm in therapy and know the first name of my T. My dad knows how to get in touch with my T, and I trust that he would never abuse having that information. The reason I gave it to him is because I went through a very bad mixed episode a few years ago and was really pretty sick. I had to be hospitalized, and my dad asked if he could talk to my T because he was very worried. He's never called her since.

Interesting question. The only people who know my T's name are my husband and two friends who have had therapy themselves.
