Okay I need some input. I'm getting my B.M in music performance and I'm set to give my senior recital in April. I was also required to give a junior recital last year, and I invited my then-T to come. For those of you who have followed my story, we were really close and I still miss him tremendously (he's doing post doc stuff at another university clinic).
My former T came to my junior recital and it was incredibly special. I was so glad he came and he was too. Now I'm in therapy with a new T, a woman, who I've been seeing since Oct, but only recently (like this week) have I even felt a connection with her. My relationship with her is no where near my former T in terms of closeness and intensity.
She knows my former T came to my jr recital, and she knows I'm giving a senior recital. She mentioned a long time ago that she has gone to people's recitals before (we were discussing this in context of my old T).
I'm afraid that if I don't invite her that she might be offended. The situation is different with her in that she's the director of the counselling center and I know for a fact that a few of my collegues have been in therapy with her. My former T coming to my junior recital wasn't a big deal b/c no one else was seeing him--I knew that for a fact. I value my privacy very much-- I haven't seen the need to tell my collegues I'm in therapy. But if she's there then it'll be pretty obvious.
What to do....and yes, it's a weird question.
