I don't think knowing any specifics about former T were what mattered to me. It came from the sense that I was interacting with a real, live, warm, flawed human being...just like myself... that made it easier for me to allow my own flaws, my own doubts, my own fears, my own vulnerability... Once I felt his being human, I was then ready to let myself be human with him. This was huge for me in therapy.
