A member asked:

My 11 yr old recently told us that if something happens to us (parents) that she wants to live with her psychotherapist. should i be concerned? repost

Not uncommon: It is not unusual for a patient to develop a bond with a treating therapist/physician, just as they might to a grade school teacher. If it comes up in conversation you have an opportunity to continue an open discussion focused on why she considers the therapist someone she would want to live with.
