BC this is very wise. How would it be to spend years (even many years) working with one particular T who fits you and helps you
and then after the main work is over, you become friends to some degree
and if anything else ever comes up, your T is not there any more. Your friend can only help you as much as other friends can; the impersonal wise guide has gone away & you face starting over with a stranger
