I had a friend while in Charlotte who was impressed by what I had told her about my T at the time, and I mentioned to my T that she was looking for a therapist, but my T said that she couldn't see her, as we were friends and she was already treating me. At the time I didn't see the problem so much, but as I became more attached to my T, I was glad that that's the way it was.
I did refer good friends of mine to my former T for couples counseling - and it was different, as I'm not seeing her anymore. She saw them for a number of sessions (it was meant to be a short-term thing). Right now I wouldn't refer anyone to my current T, b/c I don't want to share her with anyone I know, but I do give my pdoc's name to some people. But not people I know really well. A friend of mine mentioned seeing him once, and I told her I was okay with it, but then realized that I wasn't. Fortunately, she never went through with it.
