I know that my T really likes me, and I really like him, AND there is a boundary. I feel like our relationship can continue pretty much indefinitely within that boundary.

If you only want to see her to touch base 3 or 4 times a year, couldn't you just schedule sessions? Is there a reason it has to move outside the boundaries of the relationship you already have? (I'm honestly just curious)
Hi Tree and thanks for the hugs!

As of right now, I don't think I'd have a problem with having occasional sessions once the main work is done. However, I'd rather it be a non-paid professional association that is mutually beneficial. If I wanted her to be on my work committee, she'd have to volunteer if she was willing. Then if a real friendship grew through that, bonus!
