Mindriot,
Please forgive me for asking, but why are you afraid of being seen by your therapist? Do you feel shameful for seeing a therapist? Remember, there is no problem with smiling and greeting politely -- no one has to know you are a patient (after all, therapists have friends & family too), and even if they do, why do you care?Please understand I am not criticizing or trying to make fun of you; I am just curious.

> > I was sitting by a large window looking out onto the main street from a coffee shop I was at. I saw my Therapist walking down the street. I quickly pretended to scratch my head, to cover my face, in hopes she wouldn't see me as she walked by. I pretty sure she saw me, and worse probabally figured out I was hiding from her, ugh! I should of just waved to her through the window. I don't know why I hid my face from her. I'm sure that when I see her friday she'll bring it up, and I'll have to lie and tell her I didn't see her. Does anyone else feel weird when they see their therapist outside the offfice?
