SW628 ~ I do not see my T outside of T...but I don't think I'd mind.

I think that if you and T both have the healthy therapeutic boundaries in site, and that you are using the restaurant environment as part of your treatment that this is okay. Even if you enjoy it a bit and get a bit of a b-day celebration out of it.

If you were stating that you and T were going out to hang out or that you thought that these meals out together had a deeper meaning other than the fact that your T cares about your health and well being and wants to assist you to heal....then I would be more concerned.

It sounds like you know where the boundaries lie, and that T does too, so if it works for you than go for it.

Traditional therapy is great, but I also think there are times when it is good to go outside the box therapeutically as long as both client and T can maintain the boundaries.
