What if you'd been seeing your T. for 5 months, once a week and you not only talked about your own issues but your family members issues.... like a son that graduated recently from high school and his struggles. And what if your T. was helpful and listened and you felt safe...... then......
recently, a horrible tradegy(involving murder) happened with a former classmate of your sons and you brought that up in session and your T. said-- "Yes, I know about it, my son was also in that class"......
ummmmm... say what!???!!
All this time I've been talking and sharing private things with someone that could be familiar with me and I didn't even know it! How come T. never said anything about this before??
yikes-- why do I feel I'm so exposed?? or do I feel betrayed??...... what do I say to T. about it?? or do I even say anything??.....Do you think it's up to the T. to tell a client from the first, if they share a common place/situation? I have trust issues and can get paranoid...... I had hoped this T. was the one I would find great healing with, as she WAS so safe...... was I just being gullible? or.... is it just me and I'm being overly paranoid?? I'm struggling to see what is the best way to think.... I want to trust her but I want to be safe too!
Hope my rambling is comprehensible.-blushing-
I'm just nervous about this.......thank you
