In the past 2 years I consulted with two other T's in regard to my regular T, probably about five times. It was very helpful to get a different perspective, and also to be reassured that therapy was "working." My T knew about it & was OK with it, although I didn't need his permission to do it.

If the situation came up, I wouldn't hesitate to ask T if he would meet with me & another T for a mediation-type thing. But so far we've been able to work things out ourselves. I just need another perspective sometimes, and some reassurance.
