monalisasmile: I understand your worry, if it's about your specific T then obviously we don't have an answer. I think there are many great T's out there and that their reason for wanting to know details is to help you, not for their own gratification. But I'm sure there are T's that aren't as 'perfect'. I thnk if you ever feel uncomfortable telling something they ask about you should just say so. Or ask them why this is important for your therapy. T's are there to keep boundaries, but the boundary setting responsibility is not solely the T's. It's yours too.

As always in this place, the end advise is: talk about this with your T. Gosh, how that advise get's old
