I see my therapist outside therapy more than most people ever will. I actually hang out at her office when I dont have therapy. Been to her home, she's been to mine. I know her kids, played with them, gone with her to pick up her kids. Sometimes when her secretary is sick I will come and fill in. Spent my summer at her office filing and readin journals (learning about psychology). I will also go out with her if she has to do a presentation or workshop. One of her other clients thought I was her sister once. LOL.

At first she was worried about that type of relationship, but it works. She really is my friend and when I get my PHd in psychology we're gonna work together. Or so the plan goes.

I think its different for everyone and it can turn into a disaster but I dont know, Im happy the way it is. Mostly cause she was my first real friend in life and has taught me so much in and out of therapy.

The only downside is if I do something while im with her and she picks up on it. We'll definately be discussin it in therapy. LOL. So yeh that can be a pain. But our relationship has extended to way more than a therapist/ client one and I am comfortable with that.
