I agree with StopDog. A good therapist is in some ways an ideal person to keep in your life. There is little to any family politics, or hurt feelings (after you find a trustworthy and skilled one), and no need to reciprocate in any way but paying for their time. They make no other demands outside of therapy back (and I'm of the persuasion that Ts shouldn't make demands wtihin therapy except to stay safe. I know others thing Ts should challenge the client. I don't go to those Ts)
If it takes the place of trusting others and developing close friendships, then probably not so ideal. But if it supports you to do the things you want to do wtih your life, I think it's a great idea.
