See, that is a perfect example of why I don't want to share my T. I don't want to know conversations that she has with other people! It's not helpful! But... I feel like I did this to myself and if I take it back now I'll be putting T in a bad position and causing tension between my friend and I.

Sigh... The most frustrating thing is that I did think before I made the suggestion to my friend... I just didn't recognize the emotional consequences. Is that denial? Did I do this intentionally? I have nooooo idea. I'm a little worried about what my T will say.
Make the call now before your T sees her. After the first appointment it will be tougher for your friend when T won't see her anymore. Your T has you as her first obligation. Please, please let your T know how you feel now.

I think most people are not able to share their T's. What if your friend talks about what your T does in session with her? That's a terrible thing to hear.

At least make the call. What your T does about it is up to her. But let yourself be heard at least.
