The professional risk is this: the more a T shares about him/herself and his/her own problems, the more ammo a client has in a grievance or lawsuit. For instance, I could say that she was using me to tell her own problems to for her benefit, which is unethical.

Then again, working in the mental health field carries inherent risk, I've found.
Now I understand. We don't have such a culture of litigation in my country, so self-disclosure doesn't seem like a professional risk.
