I'm wondering what any of you think of this scenario. I have a friend whose T seems to have interesting boundaries. He invited her and her H, along with some other clients, to a Christmas party at his home, with his extended family there, of course. She and her H attended and had a good time. My friend is now FB friends with her T's wife and one of his children. She says this arrangement works for her.

I met her T briefly. He's very outgoing and warm. He also does group therapy in his home. She's seen him for a few years and has made a lot of progress--says he's wonderful. I think he has strict boundaries in other ways; she doesn't contact him by phone or email out of session, for example. She's not obsessed with him, either. I have to admit I'm jealous of her situation. It's unusual, isn't it, for a T to have this kind of arrangement with clients?
