I've imagined I had the same T as another poster here! I think it might mean some of us experience similar things in therapy, which I find kind of reassuring.
I am actually really curious about who my T's other clients are. Obviously he's not going to tell me!
Thanks for this!

Same. Since we are both from the UK, I was going to question you further lol.. but my T is female so it’s a dead end here.
Thanks for this!

Ha. Interesting. That would be something.

I know few people on here from my state. Met only one irl but to my knowledge none I know live close by. So it’s not likely. I mean there are people on PC who might live by me but I never have spoken to them so they wouldn’t know who I am, but the ones that I know don’t live near by. My t is literally a block away from me, can walk if I wanted to. But it’s a very busy road and intersection so I’d not walk
Thanks for this!

The one person I knew who also hired the woman did not describe her or have the same experience with her I did. If one had listened to my description of the woman and also heard that of the other person I knew who saw her - I doubt anyone would have thought we were describing the same therapist.

I wonder about that too... and if one of his other clients were on here would we be able to recognize him in each others posts or do we perceive him too differently. The other clients I see in passing in the waiting room all strike me as fairly well of b*tchy people, a lot of women or couples... lots of expensive cars. So often the person leaving before me seems so angry and in a hurry to get out of there. I am usually quite happy and linger for a little bit in the waiting room before I leave.

I highly doubt anyone here has the same T as me, but I have wondered if folks were seeing my ex-T based on things they've said.

I have thought about it but I figure the chances of anybody else living in the middle of nowhere in a town like Mayberry is pretty remote.

I'm not currently seeing a therapist, so it's not an issue for me.

I thought leaving angry and in a hurry to get away from the therapist was usual. It was how I always left.

I am in Virginia. I had a T in Massachusetts. If anyone lives in MA I know a great T who does EMDR, IFS and knows how to work with Borderlines and complex Trauma.

There are a few people here in California. I don't think I share my T with anyone because no one else has mentioned their T dying their hair pink or purple, or that they're pregnant.

@ScarletPimpernel I love that your T dyes her hair pink and purple. I have never had a T who had such bold hair color choices.
Thanks for this!

I'd like to find a good T here in southeast New Mexico... I'm brand new here, to this site, to posting on threads, chat rooms all of it... but I am dealing with some depression and anxiety, actually I have been for a while, any advice or tips for this area would be helpful.

I've never met anyone from my country here, but if I realized someone sees the same T, it would make me extremely jealous

I was aware of a situation where 2 T's on here had the same full name but weren't the same person, which was a bit of a weird situation. I'm pretty sure I haven't come across anyone with the same T as mine. Most of the UK members are in a different part of the country to me.
