I gotta admit, I don't like to think of my therapist talking about me to his wife, even without my name. I'm sure he probably does it, because I know I called with a crisis at least once while they were out to dinner or something. And I tracked him down after the hurricane by dialing his cell phone incessantly until the spotty communications got through and by trying text messaging. And he did meet me at the house he was staying at, which required making sure that there was no one around.
So I know she knows of his needy dependent client (who provides a hefty base income). But if he ever discloses talking about me to her, or if I ever heard her talking about him talking about me, I would be devastated. Even without names, and even in generalities that I can identify as myself.
I don't even like to know I've been discussed in supervision in a professional capacity. I sure don't want to be discussed when his therapist hat isn't on.
So I don't think it's anything you said, Cine. It's just a confirmation of a private fear for all of us.
Please keep posting. I've found your posts to be very insightful.
