I'm taking classes in a counseling psych MA program, and have been for a bunch of years. I may one day actually get the degree, but I'm on a really slow track. In the meantime, I love my classes; They're so fascinating, and useful to every day life.
So, last night at class I was chatting with a woman who has been in a couple of my classes. I like her and we seem to have a lot of interests in common, but we're only acquaintances. Well, in the course of our conversation it began to be more and more apparent that she is my Ts sister! At one point she asked me who I was in therapy with, and I said something about wanting to keep that to myself, because it sounded like we knew a lot of people in common. She was understanding.
I never knew her last name, but this morning she sent me an email about something we were talking about last night, and sure enough, her last name is the same as my Ts. Doh!
Now that I think about it, she does look somewhat like my T, and she talks in a similar rhythm, etc. JUST LIKE SISTERS!
This is really discombobulating me for some reason. I think I'll mention it to my T when I see her tomorrow. It feels very awkward, and suddenly makes me want to ask my T all kinds of personal questions. I had a dream last night that I got really angry at my T and stomped out, convinced that I'd never go back. But . . . uh . . . why would I be angry? It's ok for Ts to have sisters, after all.
