I have gone to therapy when sick, but I did call her ahead of time to make sure it was okay that I bring my germs with me. Both times she has said "yes".
This summer I had mono. For two weeks I was complaining how tired I was. I had streph throat - but more than that - I was overwhelming tired. When the doctor did the mono screen and the blood work came back positive, I called my therapist to let her know that I still wanted to see her despite the mono. She reminded me that it made total sense because I kept complaining, "I'm so tired, I'm so tired," throughout my last few sessions. Made me feel like she could trust my self-reporting.
