to the movies. I called to play an April Fools joke on her and she fell for it. We talked about 15 minutes, before her next client. She said she would call me back, and she did. One of her couples cancelled for the evening, so she asked if I wanted to see the movie Her. I already saw it, and she mentioned seeing something else. I told her I did not mind seeing it again. She asked if I was sure, and I said yes. It's a movie that's left me processing it in my head months later.

We are friends, but will never be BFF. But what we do have is special to me and her. I don't feel I need to check myself with her and I believe she feels the same way. There is no uncomfortableness with her knowing all my deepest, darkest secrets, besides she was not a blank slate therapist.

Post therapy friendships are possible, and I'm glad she was willing to take that leap in our relationship.
