I have been seeing my T (a male) for over a year - he saved my life really and he has been so patient with me. I think there is a lot of stuff I can work through with him, so sticking with it. However this weekend I did a group workshop (my T doesn't know) asI want to challege myself a little more in my relationships with other people. There was a male and female therapist. The female therapist was great, so different from my T (my T is great too, just a very different approach) - she was I guess more motherly and I have never had that in a woman.
I am wondering how it would be to keep with my original T, but see this other therapist occasionally. I know the stuff about not seeing two T's at the same time, but then today thought - well "normal" families have 2 parents and the children seek different things from each parent and that works - is this any different?
Naturally I can't talk to my T about this

he may abandon me
