Hi Annierose,
I see my T as a real person. She's shown me photos from vacations, I know she has children and grandchildren and so I can see her as having a life outside her office. Though she goes to the same movie theatres I do and I'm always afraid I'll run into her. Talking about movies we've both seen in her office is fine, being in the movie theatre at the same time would make me uncomfortable.
I tend to avoid people I know in public so if I saw her walking down the street I'd just duck my head and walk the other way. Dr. Clueless told me that if she sees a patient in public she ignores them. I would hope my T would ignore me. BTW Dr. Clueless' office used to be above one of the movie theatres, I was always afraid of running into her and T. Now her office is around the corner, but still close. Darn it why are the art house theatres near them?
