I think your therapist sounds really great and sensitive. I'm glad he brought it up - it was an important encounter.
Sometimes I think we'd all like to believe that our therapists never leave their office. I used to tease mine about having a murphy bed and hot plate in there because he was always there in my mind. I think we want to know if they are really the same at the office as they are outside of it.
Public places are tricky - how much can you really say? And while I totally understand the longing to have an expanded relationship, it can backfire when you learn something jarring. Take the election - what if he voted for the wrong candidate?!
I think the fact that he thought you were flirting is interesting. Do you often flirt with him? Have you talked about this before? Makes me wonder what his fantasy is about an elevator? :)
I hope you post after Monday. I want to hear the follow up.
