I am nodding my head and agreeing with my fellow posters. On the one hand it seems like it would be a wonderful way to get to know more about your therapist. But as everyone said, it can also shake up your world with her. We have one way of seeing the person we spend that time with, and if the truth (via her sister's perception) differs, that can cause all sorts of internal angst.
Anytime I learn something about my therapist it always upsets me. Ultimately, I merge the newer knowledge to the person I have come to love. I never regret knowing something, but it is unsettling.
I would tell my therapist about the encounter as well. However, I worry that my new "friend" will now distance themselves from me and think differently of me (IF your therapist tells her sister who you are).
I think my t is an only child. She has never said anything to indicate that, but when I speak about my siblings, her reactions and questions just speak to a person that grew up as an only child. Maybe I'll ask her and find out.
