For me personally, no, I would not like a joint session with someone else. That would be too intrusive for me. I'm too self conscious and wouldn't want anyone else to know my business. That's why I can't do group therapy either. I need complete one-on-one privacy.

I do think that having a t that went through similar experiences helps the process. My t has gone through a lot of what I went through so she very much understood me. We connected through shared life stories. It definitely helped me to open up to my t. Not sure about the healing time frame but I have made more progress with this t than any other t.
