It's not that unusual for therapy to happen outside of the T's office depending on the individual client. I have OCD and have gone places with a T before for working on exposures. On my receipt where T checks what kind of visit it was, there is even a box to check "offsite". It doesn't mean it's a different relationship, it's still t and client. If it was going out for dinner as friends that would not be okay. In the context of an ED, I don't think it is a boundary violation.
