Can You Be Friends with Your Therapist? - Part 1

Two Therapists At A Bar

About

In this episode, we dive into one of the most common—and complicated—questions in therapy: Can you be friends with your therapist? We explore the importance of professional boundaries, what happens when therapy relationships get too personal, and why connection and boundaries both matter. We also talk about the unique challenges of living in a small town, where therapists and clients often cross paths at church, work, or in the community.
