cabman Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have been going to a therapist for the last 2 months. Every Tuesday at the same time the same woman calls me to confirm the appointment for the next day. I started joking with her during these calls. Tonight the confirmation call lasted 45 minutes. I told her she should call me back when she could talk longer. She called back and we chatted for over 2 hours. We are going to meet this weekend. Therapy does help one get through a lost relationship. Who would have thought that it would possibly help start a next one.... Link to comment

cabman Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Huh. Is this your therapist's receptionist? Are you going to mention it to your therapist? She works there part time.... I have never met her. No I will not mention it. I believe she could get fired. Link to comment
keenan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I believe she could get fired. Well...I don't know. Depends. But it's not strictly ethical, what she did...you're vulnerable and she's in a privileged position. Tricky, though. New relationships are good! But...you'll of course want to talk about new relationships with your therapist, and it's not really in the spirit of full-disclosure to cover it up. I realize I sound like a complete wet blanket. Is it worth jeopardizing the trust relationship with your therapist to pursue this (very flattering) thing w/ the receptionist, or could you just be ok with feeling flattered but decide it's not in your best interest (or hers) to pursue it while you're in therapy? Or maybe your therapist would be fine with it. The receptionist doesn't have access to his/her notes. Although...that would be something to clarify, wouldn't it! LOL. Link to comment

This women works there part time just confirming appointments. All she can see is contact information and appointment times. (of course she could be lying) She was being friendly with me, but I initiated the interest. We just started clicking if you know what I mean. I have spoken to the therapists about new relationships, but ultimately it's going to be a personal choice depending on how I feel. I have come a long way since the breakup. I will not mention this particular incident to him. Link to comment
