My T also does therapy at his home office.It is nicely set off from his living area with shaded french doors. Office area has french doors also and bathroom off entry way.
He shares little things with me, mostly stories that relate to therapy or examples of something he has been through that has been similar ar made him feel in a similar way.General information about where he is going to for a conference or a vacation, a funny real life story, just enough to be real, not enough for me to have to worry about him or as is my downfall, need to protect and take care of him.
I did this with my last T whom I new sooo much about I didn't want to burden him with my stuff too. I am a caretaker by nature, to a fault. It is hard for me to let down my walls enough to let anyone take care of me.
