I did not ask, I just went ahead and spoke to another therapist. I've done that a couple times, once because my T was away, and twice because I wanted an outside perspective on my therapy process.
2. Did your T think this was a good or bad idea? Why?
When I told my T, she told me it was okay with her, and that she hoped it helped.
3. If you saw another T, did you have your T tell them anything about you?
No.
3. Did you talk much to the other T?
Yes, I did maybe... 2/3 of the talking, or a bit less.
4. Did seeing them help or did you regret going?
It was mostly helpful. I do not regret the appointments.
5. Did it work against your therapy with your T in any way?
Not at all.

I agree with all of this. I've done it several times. It gave me a different perspective and made me realize that I do have a good T after all. I really enjoyed being able to rant openly about my current T to another T.
It also helped with the abandonment feelings, which I know are really childish. But still .... I was like, "Ok, T you're gonna go off and leave me, so I'll just get myself another T while you're gone. And maybe he'll be better than you. Neener neener neener."
I know, I know, childish .... but it still helped!!
