The only thing I ever wanted to be sure of is that my therapist was licensed. I checked and that was all I really needed. I was afraid of blurring lines that shouldn't be blurred, so I didn't. I know she needs to maintain a certain amount of distance. I respect that. She disclosed enough to me with non-verbal clues and on the rare occasion I asked about her personal life (siblings, encounters with the police etc) she disclosed without an issue. If I had pushed a boundary, she would have told me.

Despite the professional distance, I really feel we had a good interaction going. I made some nice progress with her help. I'll miss her.
