I did not know we were talking about being friends. If that's the case, I have no idea, since I don't know my therapist very well. But as a neighbor or something, I could see being fine with that. I like to have neighbors I get along with.

Well I was talking about your t in another role and not as a friend but most people answered as if I meant friend!

Ah , if you meet them in another role. In another role , you would possibly know more about them , so I guess that could conceivably make your feelings different. I've been contemplating the therapeutic relationship recently , and I think I'm glad my T appeared in my life as my T and not in any other capacity. I doubt it would be anything like the relationship I do have with him.

Yes exactly, I imagine that I couldn't possiy have the same relationship with t in another role because you would see a different side andaybe more of their flaws. I am glad my t is my t too. I often want her to be someone else but it's better that she is my t. I could of had her as teacher/ trainer but I thought it would change our relationship too much.

What other kind of role were you talking about?
Like if she was a legal client of mine or a student? I would still think her strange and it would not make me like or dislike her more or less.

It's actually possible that I had met (or encountered, really) my T some time before I actually MET her at therapy... she went to college in my hometown where I worked at a really popular local restaurant, which she probably went to. It's pretty likely I served her food. Of course just serving people food doesn't mean you will be friends with them but I'd like to think that if I had met her in a context where I could get to know her (at a party, for example) we would be friends. We're close in age and we have a similar sense of humor.

Yes, I can see us being friends if we had met under those circumstances. With that said, I like her in the T role.
