I think doubles with another provider and sessions with a couple are two entirely different animals. Originally Posted by AveryMooreI couldn't agree more with this point.

Two people managing the experience and expectations of one person is completely different from one person doing the same for two others.
When two providers are involved, there should be at least a base level of expectation setting by the one more familiar with the client. Kudos to those who can go into such a scenario blind, I'd imagine that scenario is the most difficult.
In my personal life, lately I fall somewhere in the middle. Doubles are not something I actively seek out, but I won't turn down the opportunity if available. Maybe that will change someday.
