I talk to my T all the time. I use it to prepare for a session, to try to process something on my own, or just to bring myself comfort. I just last week admitted to T that I do this. We didn't talk about it, but she did seem a little surprised.
I've done this for as long as I can remember, so if it's unhealthy, well... Oh well. There's worse things then talking to someone who isn't there.

I have done this since I was a kid too, I've always been one to talk to myself. Maybe it's weird, maybe it's not... but I do agree that for me it is a way of processing information... sometimes after a session I will sit in my car and talk out loud for hours about what I would have said if I had more time, what I wish I had said, what I want to talk about next time, etc. It is comforting, mostly, although it also makes me miss T which is hard.
