Author KBarletta Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 Well, first of all it is illegal for your therapist to disclose anything to this woman regardless of how close they are. She could lose her license for breach of confidentiality. But now that you know they are friends, it may inhibit you from being as open as you would normally be. I can't imagine continuing your sessions with that knowledge. I'd find a new therapist. Alas, I think you are right. Maybe the universe is sending me a message. I REALLY value our professional relationship. But it's only a matter of time before we end up seeing each other socially by accident and it's all out in the open. Better to deal with it first, I guess. I'll bring it up with her next week and let the chips fall where they may I suppose.
gaius Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 No woman worth her salt is going to put up with you being "friends" with some other woman you thought was the one for you, but you just couldn't get together with because of the distance. So it's time to either a) find some way to move to be with the LDR or have her come to you or b) drop contact with her and start building with the local one. Really, those are your only two paths to success. You have to make a choice. No in betweenie weenies. And just some advice, I wouldn't pick the one that gets easily bored. 1
