Exactly which is why you have to make sure that you don't cross the line, really staying away from specifics, for instance who they took with should really be off limits unless the Therapist decides to disclose that with their client (like my Group Therapist told me that her trip to London was with her family).
Honestly I would never want my Therapist to be a true friend of mine but I would want to her to have friendship like qualities (such as knowing what her interests are).
