Do you think its weird to want to give the school counselor i used to talk to a "life update?

I talked to her like may of last year. I ran into her once since then. She told me to drop by or come talk to her. I haven't done so. We students are always told to be professional etc so do you think its ok to tell counselor an update? Like saying im okay, things are better or whatever?🤔

Bit of a dilemma this one.

Technically speaking you probably shouldn't since the dynamic of your relationship will be different now and either of you might say or do something that might be deemed inappropriate (whatever the circumstances) or might be misconstrude as such on discovery by others.

That said, you might be tempted to meet this person more with a view to a cup of coffee and a chat as part of normal discourse with someone who knows you well.
If you both agree to do it this way then i guess it's good to catch up.
But be wary of any personal info you might volunteer.
The person you're talking to is no longer 'contracted/honour/duty'-bound to keep that info to themselves

@Picklebobble2 ok. I don't plan on going back to her as far as a counseling session because like i mentioned,im okay. I'll be graduating soon so many of my problems will dissapear.

I was gonna keep the message brief. "Hello ms___. I just wanted to let you know that i am doing well. Im set to graduate in may. My mom and i have been bonding more.." stuff like that...
