I would never consider being "friends" with my Psychologist. He is being paid for a service, and that service is to straighten out my head (if that is possible). I have told him my inner-most secrets, and feel comfortable with him, but having a relationship outside of his office is just stupid. Having him as a "social" friend would be a constant reminder of just how messed up I am or was and who needs that? I think it is a really bad idea to cross the line from a "professional" relationship to an "unprofessional" one. One has to realize that one's therpist is being "paid" to be your friend during the sessional time and that is that.
