If you could interview one person in your T's life, who would it be and what would you ask them?

I would choose his mom... so we could talk about childhood/teen life stories. I think she probably knows him better than most

Maybe his wife or one of his kids. Maybe I’d see him in a more realistic light

His supervisor, so I could know what he doesn't tell me about what he thinks about working with me!
Thanks for this!

Hm...I'd like to meet his son, but not necessarily interview him. I don't feel a desire to interview his wife especially. I'll go with his brother (I know he has one) because he could give me perspective on him both as a kid and an adult.
Thanks for this!

Hmm, that's a hard one because I don't really know about who is in her life. I know she has a daughter, but what if it turned out she's a terrible mother? I wouldn't want to know that. I know this isn't what you meant by in her life, but I would be curious to interview another client of hers.

With current T, I guess her son, because I don't know if she is married or has a partner. With former T for sure her brother, because she's a twin.

Nobody! I desire to know nothing about my T. My biggest fear is seeing T "in the wild," outside of the office.

I feel like knowing anything about T personally would really...make therapy a lot more difficult for me.
Thanks for this!

His wife. I know before our work is done I will meet her which is what I really want more than an interview. They co-facilitate groups together and as much as I HATE the idea of group therapy I will cave just to meet his wife and see them together.

Ooh this is a good question. I’m gonna go with his supervisor or coworker, whichever one he tells more about his sessions. I would say his wife, but I think I might get too jealous and it would affect therapy potentially.

This. All of this. I have inadvertently met people in T's real life through my work and it is terrifying for me.

Her mom. Something tells me her mom is really special to her. I'd just enjoy hearing more about their life together.

With T I would have lived to met her mom to find out why T was never food enough for her. T was such a kind and compassionate person I could have never imagined what the problem was. I Ts SO a few times and met her brother, son and daughter and law after her death.

EMDR T would be her 3 year old son. I love the age and imagine he is probably pretty happy go lucky...plus they are so brutally honest.

Awe heck no! 🤣 as much as I LOVE my T I could never live with him! OMG I would strangle him! 😂 but... it keeps the sessions real! I am 100% convinced that my T’s quirks would totally drive me bonkers in almost any type of social setting.

I would like to see him with his grand kids too but I know I would totally break down and be a basket case so I would have to be far away or in some kind of one way, sound proof magic room so as not to influence them. But I also think that would ruin him as a T for me because I would become too fearful of him after seeing him be so loving.

Probably her best friend, she seems like a very fun person and I'd be curious to know what she's like around her friends!

No one. I would want to avoid that at all costs. I have enough to worry about without opening myself up to obsession about T or someone in her life. I would obsess. And I really don't want to. So no one.

No one that I really can think of. I would, however, just love to be a fly on the wall watching them interact with their grandbabies. They are all so in love with those grandchildren; I know it would be lovely and probably a bit hilarious.
Thanks for this!

I wouldn't care about what the therapist was like to other people. I assume the woman was highly annoying in real life but how ever she was in real life had no bearing on her failures as a therapist to me.

His ex wife! I also like the idea of talking to his supervisor to find out what he really thinks about me.
