Squiggle - I was really happy when I woke up this morning to see that your T had emailed back and that she showed a lot of empathy and wasn't angry at all! Sounds like you have a great one who is completely focused on helping you and getting to the root of your anxiety. She sounds like a keeper!

And I do get the frustration part of this being a one-sided relationship... My last 2 Ts have self-disclosed here and there (my current one not too much to make me uncomfortable), but it does feel good that she trusts me with little bits of information. We talked about this - she said that she'll share things that she's worked through (for ex, a little bit about her relationship w/ her mother) and that she trusts me. I have googled her and knows where she lives, but she already had mentioned the town and like your T she home address comes up under her professional listing. I haven't had a thought of driving by or anything. But it's just natural to be curious about them - I mean we share our deepest parts and secrets with someone who in many ways is a stranger. But I do believe like someone wrote on another thread that we do see a part of the whole person that T is, but it's just a part - doesn't make it not real.
