Can I see 2 therapists?
i was wondering if anybody has ever seen 2 therapists at once. I like my current therapist, who is great with anxiety tools and maintaining stability. However, while she was on vacation she arranged for me to see another therapist in her absence, who was great with helping me connect with my emotions and other people, and was very motivating and encouraging. I dont think my regular therapist would be ok with me seeing 2 therapists at once (because of comments she has made), but I really feel torn because I feel I connected with them in different ways and want to learn both skills. Im not sure who to discuss this with for advice because it would be awkward to bring it up in therapy, so I thought Id post here! Im in the U.S. btw, it may be different here than other places. Its not a problem with my insurance to see 2 therapists, just tricky for my therapist I think. I dont know if this is ever done in the U.S.Im going through a really stressful time right now anyway, so it would be nice to have both perspectives, but I dont want to step on any toes. Any tips?

Of course you can see 2 therapists! A lot of therapists help in different ways or are more specialized in different subjects so it is 100% to seek two therapists. 
The therapists I know advise against it. It's true that you can get different perspectives from different therapists, but there's also a risk that their work could interfere in unwanted ways.
However, the therapists I know all do very intensive therapy. If your therapy is spread out over a long time, like maybe a year or more, then maybe it's not such a serious problem.
