One thing I'm really really good at is separating myself from others. I wouldn't in any way want to cause my therapist embarassment because of something I've said which would then be linked to the real him. But if he embarasses himself... Well, that's him and has nothing to do with me. :)
If he says something I don't like, it won't be the first time. But I know anything he says will have a hearty dose of empathy because that's who he is 99% of the time.
I'm like that with my son and my husband too. If they do something to embarass themselves, I might feel bad for them, but I don't take it personally. I wish my husband were like that. He's afraid that if my son behaves badly it reflects on him. And he's embarassed of me all the time.
Oh well.
Anyway, I think in the end he's unlikely to do it. But perhaps he'll suggest a colleague.
