My T does this. I find it quite interesting. He did tell me that the girl who showed up at my appt time and stormed out never came back. (She was supposed to be the appt before mine but she made a mistake. She didn't take it well.) He's shared info about a few other patients too.

He did once observe that I was unwilling to talk. He asked why and I said I didn't really know. He told me when he sees children that refuse to speak it is because they want to retain control. I felt kind of silly that I was doing something that caused him to compare me to child patients.. but he probably had a point.
