If this was me I would give it a shot. in fact I have introduced a friend to my last therapist I had. The only reason that my present therapist and this particular friend have not yet met was because my friends work schedule conflicts with my therapy time. This friend has been a part of my therapy and plans for 5 years and the results have been amazing because not only does she help with keeping me grounded but she also challenges me to think about the sides of situations that I don't normally see. Just when I think I am stuck on something I call my friend and soon the two of us are bantering back and forth brainstorming ideas and having a good time in the process. When I first started seeing SKR and one day my friend and I were downtown and we were passing the therapy agency where my therapist worked and down the street was my therapist and I said something like SKR must be on break there she is coming out of the coffee shop. and my friend said can I meet her someday. My heart went thump and I said sure why not now. and thought why not, its not like my seeing a therapist is a deep dark dirty secret. so we pulled over and I introduced the two, then we all talked for a few minutes and then back in the car I asked my friend " soooo what do ya think?" she said " she's cool I like her if I ever need someone..." and I picked it up with "in that case you better turn the car around now." and it has been the best thing on earth for me and my friend. Not only did she get to know why I was seeing SKR but being a part of my therapy has helped her to really understand how my being DID and the things that happen because of it effects me, and our time together has pulled us together like nothing on earth could between friends. If I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing. If anything I probably would have introduced SKR and C much much sooner.
