I had this dilemma a few months back. A friend of mine was feeling very depressed and asked if he could have my therapists number. I said no, and felt awful about it. I felt I was being really selfish. I was worried that she might find him more entertaining than me. (He is highly promiscuous and very funny). I was also worried that if either of us mentioned in therapy an something that had happened between us, she might forget which one of us had told her about it.
When I asked my therapist about this, she said she wouldn't take on any friend of mine due to the possible conflict of interest. So I felt exonerated.
