I posted this on chat for the traffic, but thought this might actually be the better forum... Any advice or reassurance would be welcome!
I used to have a lot of MH issues and had several years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy as a part of my recovery. My therapist was a lovely woman, quite a bit older than me, very business-like but kind. I felt we always had very clear boundaries and I never really learned much anything about her personal life at all - so obviously I didn't know where she lived at all! The therapy ended some years ago and I hadn't seen her since.
But we've recently moved, and must have moved somewhere very close to her; I keep bumping into her! It's a small place, and I keep seeing her out and about and it's now really bothering me. First of all it brings up a lot of issues for me, and it's affecting how I feel about my new home - just knowing there's someone "out there", who knows all my issues. But I'm also worried that she thinks I'm stalking her!
Are there any MH professionals out there with any advice? I don't know if I should somehow try to explain myself, or do I keep pretending I don't even notice her, like I've done so far?
This is all surprisingly upsetting!
