Is friendship supposed to be better? I was wondering the same thing.
Also, does anyone else feel like being friends with their T is the last thing that they would want. Right now just the thought of running into my T somewhere, much less with wife and kids in tow gives me horrors. Maybe that's unique to clients of long term, analytic therapy or maybe just unique to me.
Now as far as contact after termination is concerned, that's another story. I fully expect to be able to contact my T, even come in for a check up session on a periodic basis or if a crisis occurs after termination. But at this point (3 years into the process) neither one of us has even breathed a word about termination (quitting yes, but "we've completed our work together" terminating, no). In fact, most of the time he's reminding me that this process takes years.
