Maybe this is like Groucho Marx saying he would not to be in a club that would have him as a member but...

The fact that my T would become my friend and continue accepting money from me for therapy would make me lose respect for her as a T and as a friend. How could I trust that someone with such sketchy boundaries and such a needy ego could also manage the professionalism and skill I need from a therapist? How could I respect someone who mines her client base to combat her own loneliness? I would be disturbed.
