I happen to know my therapist's father a little, and I would see pictures of her baby on his Instagram when he was born. I decided to be forthright about this with her from the getgo, that her dad didn't really know anything personal about me or that I see her but he does post pictures of her baby. And it was fine, I get to tell her he's super cute and growing up to be very sweet, and then we talk about me.

This is super wholesome. I live in a not huge city and always worry I'll run into my therapist in a social setting since we are close in age and run in similar groups. I don't want to have to find a new therapist :(

Actually funnily enough I ran into my psychiatrist a few weeks ago at the farmer's market. He just gave me a hug and talked for a minute. I have seen him for many years, and since I work in health care as well I helped him by getting another patient of his an appointment when he asked me if I could help them, and absolutely I did, so he is super grateful to me and a really good guy.
