When it crosses a line
One can know they’re in the therapist position, says Hartwell, if “After their friend has spent a period of time talking, their friend inquires about what to do, what feedback does the therapist friend have, what does the therapist friend think about the situation, and the list goes on.” Then it can become clear the friend doesn’t come to these lunches to share in a balanced give-take dynamic as a friend: they come here for a more one-sided benefit.
