In reply to Cant keep this secret from my T anymore, posted by bent on June 8, 2006, at 11:57:13
Hi.. I too know where my therapist lives, also by accident.. although not because I have relatives nearby. I drive around town a lot when I feel bad, and we live in a small town.. one day, I drive by a house and her car is parked in front. I guess I dont know for sure that it was HER house, but I assume it is. I agree with what you said about it feeling like a huge secret. Like I read someones diary or something. But your rational side is right - its just a coincidence.
I dont know your T, but I sincerely doubt she will be upset with you when you tell her. After all, it's not as if you went searching for her, and you havent acted inappropriately or crossed any boundaries with the knowledge (like going to her house, etc). I cant imagine that she would leave you just for knowing. If you've known where she lives for so long, and you've never violated her space before, I'm sure she'll feel safe and confident that you wont violate it now. Besides, if you were going to, why would you come clean and tell her you know where she lives now? It wouldnt make sense. You'd want it to be a secret that you knew. I think she'll be glad that you told her, and even if she does feel a little strange, I dont think you have anything to worry about. I'm sure you'll feel great once you get it off your chest too.
I'm having trouble forming coherent sentences today, so I hope that made sense. Let us know how it goes.
