My best friend sees my T at my recommendation. She and I talked about the hazards of sharing, and he and I talked about the hazards of him seeing her. He met with her, and then discussed it with me again because accepting her as a client. I really felt completely comfortable with him seeing her, although we did discuss what would happen in the event she and I had a conflict that one of us brought to therapy. How that would look, how it would feel, what he would do.
However, when it came to my sister wanting to see my T, I freaked out a little. I really didn't want that to happen. He and I talked about it and he referred her to someone else.
It's really good that your T was responsive to your needs!
