Doesn't make you a bad person. My good friend and I do happen to share a psych NP....but she does therapy with the np and i just get my meds. No real conflicts going on there.

When I found out that my T was also treating a coworker of mine I felt slightly violated, but it ended up ok. She and I ended up becoming better friends because of the situation. Her daughter had been killed in a ski accident and I had gotten bipolar at the exact same time. If it was my best friend I don't think I would want to share a T. I talk about my difficulties getting and keeping friendships in T and having my best friend doing the same thing would be too much for the T to manage properly in my opinion.

My t agrees. She has turned down clients who turned out to be the parents of patients I take care of at the hospital, way too many issues going on there. She finds alternative Ts for the families she doesnt treat though.
