waterdude125 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't know where this goes so do what you must So apparently one of the staff from a treatment center I went to over a year ago is now a teacher at my school. Don't worry about that HIPAA stuff, he said he wouldn't say anything(even though I don't really care). I saw him in the hall on my way to 3rd period and I froze when I saw him. He said Hello David and I was just shocked I thought I was gunna be taken back to treatment for a second lol.. He congratulated me on graduating early and said he told the other staff and that they were proud of me even though I don't know how he knew that. I don't know how to feel. I feel like he's bringing a part of my past with him but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Of course I've improved but is this a sign? Like do I need to talk to him? I'm so confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Personally, I'd just go with the flow ... you've only seen him one time so it seems benign to me, but if I were to see him over and over (and he talked to me over and over) it would bother me (other than a 'hi' here and there). And even if I thought he might want to talk to me again (as a therapist or whomever you saw him as), I wouldn't talk to him, I'd find someone else.

Wonderful.Cheese Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I agree with melissa completely. She said it best. Try not to read too much into this. I don't think it means anything significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterdude125 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm pretty okay with talking to him though. I just don't want to creep HIM out by talking to him. that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooster Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 You could always check in about it with him to see what kind of boundaries you'd like to have now that you have different roles with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm pretty okay with talking to him though. I just don't want to creep HIM out by talking to him. that's all. I think that if he initiates the "hi" and you reply back "hi" IMO, I don't think he would feel creeped out because he is the one who started the conversation. If you approached him and wanted to talk to him, I still don't think he'd feel creeped out because he knows you, but he might just prefer you speak to someone not in that environment (as a therapist or whomever). But that is just a guess. You know him best, and like Wooster said you could talk about the boundaries you/he want to have if you need to.

Savannah Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I found out my tdoc goes to the same church as I do. He said he saw me there once and was coming to say hello but got lost in the crowd. It wouldn't bother me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
