If I'm consulting with another therapist on a particular topic, and my current therapist knows about it and has said he's OK with it--that's OK to do, right? It's a therapist that mine knows, and he even suggested recently that I consult with her about a particular issue (a slightly different one at the time, but related--all relational stuff). I've already scheduled a session with her for next week, which my T knows about and has said he is OK with. But I keep worrying that I'm betraying him or something in seeing her.

Mostly asking now because if I cancel tomorrow, I'll be giving her a week's notice, which seems very fair. And also because I'd scheduled my usual session that day with my T, in case I opted to cancel with her, and he's asked that I let him know by midday tomorrow if I want to keep or cancel the session with him (if I cancel, he said it's likely to get filled up).

She's the T I see when he's out of town, so we already have a bit of a relationship, and she works more with trauma and relational stuff. Dr. T and I have been bumping up against some relational stuff lately, including something where he said "I don't know how to help you any further with this." In the next session, he said maybe I could talk to R about it. It would just help to talk about some of this with someone who has more training in it, maybe to help us work through whatever is going on in my therapy right now, where we've had multiple conflicts/misunderstandings/(other stuff that I don't have a good word for) lately. Like, this week, we've gotten to the point where we've both admitted there could be enactments going on, just both seem a bit unsure how to handle it (beyond saying "yes, maybe this is what's happening.")

So, it's OK to see her, right?
