I would hate it if someone I knew, even vaguely, saw my T. I can barely stand the fact that he has other patients. I know I would want to compare notes -- what is he like with you, does he love you as much as me. I also think that he would not see someone I knew, knowing how hard it would be for me to keep any boundaries. He has told me he would never do therapy with a friend, or even with the friend or relative of a friend or with the friend or relative of a client. Too many opportunities for transference angst and boundary violations. I used to have nightmares where I found out he was seeing my sister or my husband for therapy. I would feel so angry and jealous in the dreams.
