In reply to I saw T tonight!, posted by TherapyGirl on January 20, 2010, at 19:24:51
I would love to comment in the same way others are but I don't understand your relationship with your T, and so it is hard for me to know what to say. For example, there is no way my T would be keeping in touch with me and taking me out to dinner a few weeks after our therapy ended and then us seeing each other again in another 3 weeks in a non-therapeutic context. So because my T was like that, I can't make believe I know what your situation is like since mine was very different. I would like to know how your situation works but I had always thought that outside contact with a T after termination of therapy was off limits for one year. Or in some cases, off limits period. Am I saying that what I know about this stuff is more than what others know about it? No. Am I saying that my way of doing things is how it should be done by all? No. But I am concerned about seeing a T for therapy and then seeing her almost "socially". Concerned that complete termination won't take place and will leave the client in the long run, wondering if the T is still a part of their life and things like that. Not that socially has a negative context but I don't understand the transition from therapy client to seeing T outside of therapy. I only ever saw my T in the office and staying in touch was not something she was willing to do.
