I live in the same community as my therapist and psychiatrist. We run into each other a lot. On the street, in stores, at a lecture, at a religious event, all kinds of places. We have a routine. We say "Hi". Exchange a few pleasantries like "Enjoy the lecture (afternoon) (evening) etc. "Nice weather" Then we go our separate ways. No drama. No emotion. Just, "isn't it a nice afternoon". That way I'm not invading their space, I don't feel shunned, and we acknowledge each other's existence. I've been seeing my therapist for 11 years and my psychiatrist for 25 years. It's really a nonissue for us.

We have said hi and chatted shortly about something general (for example about the movie if movie theatre was where I saw her). I have introduced my company and her to each other without titles, like "this is Tom and this is Peter". No big deal at all. I would be so weirded out if My T had run away without doing her groceries.

She was asking about one particular store near her house and asking how often I go to that store and I said I only go once every couple months and she said “oh, good. Then the chances of me running into you isn’t likely.” Who cares honestly. It’s like she’s trying to hide something.

I would totally turn 13, roll my eyes and ask if she was serious. I have no filters as of late!

She reacts with more decorum and respect towards me in public than she does in the privacy of a session!
