My T has used her children in one illustrative story and mentioned them a couple other times. In the story situation, she did compare them to me and my half-siblings in a way. My T rarely discloses, though. Also, my T is about ten years older than me. So, her children are young. I have more in common with T/T would be better off using illustrative stories about herself than her children to help me. Again, she rarely discloses, but when she does, it is had been about herself most of the time, her kids or husband very rarely, and never anything about other clients, not even anonymously. She definitely is very careful with disclosure and confidentiality, and I really respect and like that.
