But then again, in the long run, it could mean a longer term relationship with T outside of the client/T relationship....Isn't that what a lot of clients hope for? Yet, it scares me to death.

I am so frazzled right now.
Hi there,
This is definitely not a good idea. My advice would be to avoid dual relationships if you can. You can get hurt and lose the support your therapist can otherwise offer. As I hear this is alread causing you some distress and anxiety. Who is going to help you with that?? I'm sorry that your T initiated something like this.
Thanks for this!
