Question is: is your T being stalkery or intrusive, or is this part of your transference? Is she asking out of interest or because it's relevant or because she's more nosy than she should be? You said she gave you numbers of where she stayed. Isn't that so you can contact her if you need to? When she asks questions is she trying to satisfy her curiosity or find out more about you and your world so she can help you?
Yes, Ts are interested in people's lives. But you seem to see this in one way - that it's for some kind of personal gratification that means they are essentially voyeurs - which differs greatly from how I see it, so again it may be part of your transference. In my case, I don't expect my T to be interested in me. That's my transference. So it makes me happy to think that he is interested in people and how they understand the world. I was a neglected, overlooked child so to have an authority figure take an interest in what I think and actually listen to me is astonishing. It's not voyeuristic to me as I am intensely grateful and surprised.
Maybe your T is asking for too much detail. The million dollar question is: does it remind you of anyone else you have known?
