Sorry - I did not mean to imply that others view their T's as a friend if they do "out of the box" things during sessions.

I just meant - for ME - it would feel too "friend-like." I prefer the structure of a session in an office, that's predictable. For me, that's safe and comforting. So, I'm glad that's what my T does.

I'm glad there are so many different types of T's out there, that can reach each of our needs with their different styles and approaches to therapy.
