He has "confided" a few things about his past that relate to what we are discussing or how I might mis-perceive something as he did at that time...
If I ask him a direct question, he will usually answer..but nothing that is too intimate, never about his family members specifically and nothing that I would feel burdened by. But yes, personal to him just as I continually and honestly tell him things about myself. Would I betray his trust. NO. Would he betray my trust. NO. That's why he is my T. If I wanted to talk to a brick wall or a total stranger I would go the corner..talk to wall while waiting for the bus..
