I'm glad that you like your relationship with your T.

For me, it's not something I'd want. I like having boundaries with my T. I don't think I'd trust her as much if she were also my friend...I wouldn't know how to deal with such a relationship. I like the fact that for one hour a week, I have a specific place I can go to feel safe and a specific person I can trust to listen to me and not judge me and give me helpful feedback. If I saw her in a friendship type relationship outside of therapy, I feel like it would cheapen the theraputic relationship I currently have.

There are times I wish I'd met my T as a friend first, because I think if she weren't my T, we'd be good friends. BUT, I'm sooooo very grateful she IS my T and that I have that relationship with her instead.
