I don't think it's ever a good idea to become friends with your t. It changes everything and there is already a power imbalance in the relationship. How many of your friends know the stuff your to does about you?
Any t that is willing to enter into a friendship with a client is definitely meeting their own needs as echos said. Please can you see that we are trying to support you here. Nobody can make this decision for you but I urge you to think about your t a agenda. It's risky behaviour for them.
