I think it would be fun if therapists could friendship match make their clients lol. Wouldn’t work bc hippa, but imagine “hey this person has the exact same special interest/hyperfixation as you. YAP AWAY!”

Think this is allowed and already in practice in some cases. If a therapist thinks two patients would benefit from group therapy/meeting, they can offer each patient the opportunity and present the case and go through with it if both agree. I had a friend and someone I distantly knew that got offered and paired up to deal with loss.

That is actually so incredible. I’ve honestly found group therapy to be more helpful to me. Hearing other people open up about their thoughts and struggles helps me to be able to open up about mine. I just haven’t really looked for a group outside of an inpatient setting
