Has a friend of yours gone to see your therapist for their own therapy?
I am *very* attached to my therapist. She works in integrative and relational ways, so she's all about the transference and the relationship between us. When I say I am very attached, I really really mean it.
Anyway, my friend wants to start therapy. Not trauma therapy. Just for her things. That's not the important bit.
But she wants a therapist like mine. Me and my friend have had many conversations about how I feel about my T and the work me and my T do together. And my friend thinks this would work for her.
I want my friend to have excellent therapy, so why wouldn't she go to see this therapist?
But also: how am I going to manage if she does?
I am friends with this friend for a couple of decades. I know that if I said I wasn't comfortable with her approaching my therapist, that she wouldn't. She said for me to sleep on it and let her know. We have a good friendship so I know we will respect each other's views.
It's whether I would manage her seeing my T?
