I asked if he ever discussed clients outside of the session and he said no. But then he admitted he did. He said that once a technique he used on me, pretending to be my father, he told his wife about because it was helpful. I was distressed at this point. He asked why I was upset. I felt like the things that we do in the office should stay there. Almost like we're having an affair and he shouldn't run home and tell his wife about it.
Also, he said that when he sees a client in public, at times it is awkward. He said he can't say that the person is actually a client, but the lack of response tells the person he's with that it's a client. Also, once he saw a client and the client looked his family up and down and stared for quiet a while. (Was it me??) HE discussed that with the client at the next session.
