I like your reasoning behind your therapist's taste in friends :)
> What does your mutual acquaintance say about your therapist? I think I'd feel very uncomfortable and worry that I might hear something that might make my life difficult.
It's mostly innocuous stuff. She'll start of conversations with, "I have a friend who..." and I kind of piece together through the context that she's talking about my therapist. Since my coworker doesn't know that I'm seeing her friend, or that I know her at all, she doesn't have much reason to say anything too out there. She did mention something once about my therapist's parenting style when we were talking generally about parenting that I found a little uncomfortable. It sounded like a great parenting style, but I found that I just didn't want to know that information about her. It's funny, because it's the kind of thing I *thought* I wanted to know, but hearing it from a third party just made it weird. I haven't yet told my therapist about that conversation. Now I'm wondering if I should.
