Other than his thoughts and feelings on things we're discussing in session (which he talks about quite openly), my T discloses very little. I know almost nothing about him biographically. For example, I know he has kids, but I have no idea how many, how old or whether they're boys or girls.

The one time he did disclose something very personal, it made a big difference for me. It helped me understand his motive for something he'd done and it helped me see him in a new, more nuanced way.
