Do you ever tell others about your T, or give your T's contact info to others?

I like telling others about my wonderful T, when appropriate.

I also love it when I successfully convince people to go see her. She is too awesome not to be shared! I wish everyone could be her client.
Thanks for this!

People know I have aT, but I would never refer anyone else to him. What if they went in there and talked about me? LOL

I'm mixed - there are a select few trusted friends that know I'm in therapy, and know how awesome my T has been for me. I'd be somewhat resistant to share T with a friend cause I'd be a bit stressed that T would get too full and not have room for me!

Irrational, I know, but hey, it's honest!

I think my T is absolutely amazing...but I won't share her with friends or family. Tons of reasons behind that, but I just don't want to get in to them all.

I tell people when appropriate. I agree that my t is too great not to be shared.

I talk about therapy in general sometimes but never my T specifically. I would never refer someone to her because the idea of someone I know seeing her freaks me out.

I tell some people about my T. I'm a big proponent of counseling and am in grad school officially now to be a T. Actually, I talked to a girl today who is finishing up at my graduate school about my T. I mentioned this girl to my T and found out my T knew her from a counselor thing. I told the girl my T knew her. The girl said that my T is sooo sweet and such a nice person. This girl tells it like it is too. It was so nice to hear that my T is as wonderful in real life as she is in the room!
Thanks for this!

No, I do not. I do not tell others I see a therapist nor do I have an urge to recommend her to people. I have no idea if she would be useful to others or not. I don't want others knowing I see a therapist in general nor do I want them coming back to me if it fails with someone I have given the name out.

My T does not do therapy with people who know each other well, so it would not be an option to refer others to him even if I were so inclined. Four or five people know I'm seeing a T, but I don't discuss my therapy or therapist with anyone.

I don't talk to other people about my therapy. It really isn't anyone else's business. I don't hide it from them either. It just isn't something that comes up.

It's kind of like going to the doctor in that aspect. I might tell someone, "I had a gynocologist appointment today," (a femaie friend perhaps), but I wouldn't tell her the details of my appointment. No one wants to know that; TMI. Therapy is like that. It may be fine to mention I go, but the details are left between me and T.
Thanks for this!

Some people know I go to therapy (actually, when I worked I think my whole office did, pfft )...only a few people know anything specific about my Ts.
I recommended my pdoc to my friend and she started seeing him but that was cool because now we can talk about him, ha. I don't see him very often so its hard to get too attached to him like I might a T.
A now sort of ex-friend recommended my ex-T and that is why she isn't someone I can talk to anymore in any form (she kept pushing to hang out for a long time, too, after he terminated with me, never knowing I wasn't seeing him anymore)...I can't bear to hear her mention still going to see him. She did in an email a few months ago and I slammed the computer shut and sat here and rocked back and forth for an hour plus (and never wrote back). So my "now T" and I decided I must avoid her, period...just can't deal.
