Talking to my oldest, closest friend about her therapy.

I have a friend I've known since we were 19 and we are in our early 60s now.

She is my best friend, and I am hers.

We have been through thick and thin together, including having children close in age. We have always lived in the same city and see each other and message/speak on the phone regularly. Not daily but regularly.

She has been having psycotherapy for years. I'm curious about what it's all about, but is it bad to ask? She didn't have a perfect childhood (alcoholic Dad who died when she was relatively young) but she was extremely close to her mother and siblings. And still is with her siblings (mother passed away at close to 90).

I am very fascinated by what she is having this therapy for and how is it helping her. AIBU to want to ask or is that an absolute no-no even if you are very close?

If she wanted you to know then she would have told you.

You definitely shouldn't ask.

Don't ask! Therapy is a private and safe space. Even someone asking about it would make me feel very uncomfortable and feel like that space was being threatened
