I think everyone in that situation would have felt very anxious. It really is a violation of the extreme privacy you have and need during your therapy hours. Even though it was an innocent mistake by his wife, it raises all sorts of painful issues.
The predominant ones for me would have been anger and jealousy. My t would have insisted on a thorough exploration of my reactions, and kept at it until we both felt that it was sufficiently resolved. Would yours do that? It sounded as if he got thrown for a loop himself, which reinforces how important the privacy of the therapy hours are to both people involved. I think we would have needed a little time to pass before we tackled such a fraught issue.
