This just came up in session a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't want to tell me much about himself because it makes an effective space from which to examine everything. It does work, let me tell you--the transference is amplified. We learn a lot about me by analyzing the thoughts and feelings I have about him to fill in all the 'blanks'.

Former T told me a lot about himself. He made himself vulnerable to me too. He has been, so far, the only person in the world who I ever trusted fully.
