Not that I'm a stranger about misleading my mother, but it wouldn't be for a very kind reason.
I guess I'm just feeling a bit frustrated that he was surprised. I thought that if he had really grasped the concept, he wouldn't have been a bit surprised that strangers comment on it.
And my husband and I had a few joint sessions and it was enormously helpful to me. My therapist was then able to give me muuuuch more helpful input when we discuss my husband, because he knows firsthand what my husband is like. It's hard to hear about people secondhand and get a really good picture of them. But most of the people in my life are straightforward enough that a few sessions really convey their essence.
Perhaps if I told my mother that it would be helpful for my therapy, without giving specifics as of why it would be helpful, it would clarify the ethical issues.
