sounds like your t knows a lot about boundaries and if she had a problem with talking with you outside of session she would let you know. maybe in session you could talk about this guilt you are feeling for using your positive resources to your advantage. you could always offer to pay her for her time if it is really making you feel that bad. you deserve the help. t wouldn't help you if she didn't want to help. take care of your self. that is exactly what t praised you for. feel good about it. take care.
