I think I'd flip out. I dont handle hearing about my T's life and she doesnt talk very much about it. Especially her daughters. I can think of lots of reasons I'd be sad. Mostly I wonder about my T as a mother. I compare her to mine and wish my mom could be more like the fantasy-mom I see my T being. Its also a reminder that we dont get to know our T's in any other context beyond a therapeutic relationship. That they do have a life outside their offices and it doesnt include us. Perhaps your reasons are totally different though. I know if my T was away for her daughter's wedding, I'd be in tears. This is what I think it would hit for me but I am sure there are so many reasons.
