Interesting that you say that because my T has repeatedly said "we aren't friends. What we have is deeper and more intimate than friendship"
I don't know. I can imagine being her friend. We both do yoga, we are both kind of nerds, she has a great sense of humor etc. She is older than me by only 7-8 years. The big differences would be a lot of her life revolves around her kids and I don't have kids. And she is a very "city girl" type...it made me laugh because last session I shared a story ( body image issues are a big part of my therapy) about how my horse got stuck somewhere and we had no ropes and so I made my bra into a halter and my shirt into a lead rope and led him home through the woods topless, and how beautiful and empowered I felt... And she said " hell you should have ditched the pants too"
I looked at her and said " no pants??!!have you ever BEEN in the woods??" Because no pants climbing through forest scrub is a whole different thing. And she doesn't know what tractor Supply company is, which is where I buy everything I need to survive. I spend nearly all my time outdoors with my dogs and horses ....
