If your T was fine with the amount of support she was giving and you were fine with the support she was giving then i don't see a problem..

I think one way of looking at this is that it's like any other relationship -professional or otherwise- in that other people outside of that relationship, who are familiar with it (in this case a psych treatment team) do not think it is healthy, despite the fact that the two people in the relationship do think it's healthy.

This happens, right? If you have a friend who you feel is in a relationship that's very unhealthy for her, wouldn't you speak up? Wouldn't you maybe get push back from those involved, saying that it 'works' for them, stay out of it? No matter what your concerns for your friend, would you automatically conclude that since your friend says it's 'fine' for her, that it is, in fact, fine/healthy?

I just don't think it's as simple as both are fine with it, so it's okay. I think when you look at it in the context of other relationships, and outside concern from friends/family, etc., it looks different.
Thanks for this!
