Daisy,
I've sometimes wondered what my T's wife does (did) for a profession. Perhaps it would be reassuring if she worked in a similar field, then she might understand how things go in therapy. I have no idea though. Sometimes I try to explain something to my partner and he never really gets how important something 'so small' can be in the context of therapy. Maybe I should send him off to an analyst so he can get it!!
Does it bother you that your T and his wife share offices? Would it be easier if he had an office of his own?
I can relate to the feeling of being invaded, yet I feel guilty at the same time as it is their/her house after all! Maybe I need to start talking about this more too - instead of just allowing another elephant to stay in the room.
The therapeutic relationship is confusing/complicated and these details bring this reality closer to home. I see him tomorrow, I hope he can make me feel safer.
Thank you for sharing :)
Witti
