I have found it very comforting when my therapist has responded to my questions as another human being. I have had difficulting understanding that people exist outside my sphere of sight. They just kinda disappear only to reappear when I am around. Yeah, I am stunted at a very low age level. Ha ha. Anyway as my T and I were working with this difficulty I would need him to tell me stuff about him to "prove" that he existed beyond me also that I existed beyond him. For a short period of time I was afraid that if I was away from him I actually disappeared. Weird huh? Of course there is a limit to how much a T should share before it is corrupting the therapist/client relationship. He is very good at making sure that his responses are simple and nat at all private.

PS the most nauseating thing that happens to me is when I am driving and I look at another driver in another car and realize that they are going some where and are going to be doing something that I will never know about. It actually makes me sick to my stomach the image is so powerful and frightening.
