Hi rubenstein,
I have not yet run into my current T. ( 4 months) - but give it time. I think I would be fine with it, but who knows? I think issues can arise we never thought of until it actually happens. It might depend on where, whether he was alone or with family, etc. I'm sure we would at least politely acknowledge each other. I doubt we'd strike up any kind of conversation, though. With me, there no issue of privacy at all, since I don't care who knows I'm in therapy - and would gladly recommend my T., and/or therapy in general, to anyone interested. He knows this.
I can see why that was weird for you, though. It would be the shirtless part...yeah. Adds to the sudden shock of the encounter. I think I might get a little creeped out by that - wishing I could just keep my T.'s "image" as it is in his office, and not see him exercising or partly disrobed. There's just too many possible unconscious things that could happen later.... Your T. must run on a strict schedule, as you see him at the same times. Maybe you could suggest he change it as you obviously can't help what time church lets out...lol (yeah, right) ;-)
