This thread makes me think about a variation of this question that I've seen pop up several times on this board. Does my therapist ever think about me in between sessions?
I've thought about this before and always just told myself that he probably does not - until he mentioned a couple of times that he was thinking about something we had discussed in a previous session and he wanted to readdress the topic (only after I had brought it up again). At that point, I realized that this is his job and one I believe he is very dedicated to. I know I sometimes think about my job even when I'm not there and since their jobs are *us*, doesn't it only seem natural that they would think about us sometimes even when we aren't around? That being said, another part of their job is to make sure that they don't inappropriately act upon any thoughts they may have about us outside of the professional therapeutic relationship.
Just a thought...
