I have a great connection with my therapist but sometimes i wonder if things are too friendly. i'm a lesbian and he's a gay man so i don't mean anything romantic but we're the same age and we have a lot in common.

but he was recently on holiday and when i went back to my next session i said "how was your holiday, did you go anywhere" and he said he was supposed to but his grandmother became seriously ill so he stayed home to help out with that.

my initial reaction was simply concern, that's a sad thing to happen of course but later at home i started wondering if it was maybe inappropriate for him to tell me that?

i'm not sure where the lines of disclosure should be drawn but it's obvious he didn't have to tell me that, he chose to. is that weird? i'm not even saying he's a bad therapist or he's unprofessional or anything. I suppose i'm just curious as to whether that is usual therapist behaviour?
