The funny thing is, my T is definitely not a blank slate. She doesn't over share, but she doesn't go out of her way to hide things, and in reality, I know that her life isn't perfect.

I know about some hard things she's dealt with (not in an inappropriate way)....but even though I know that her life isn't perfect, I have this fantasy that it is. She has a perfect relationship with her amazing significant other, and that in her free time, she is always busy doing something cool/meaningful. She has great relationships with her amazing family (in my imagination).

There is no way that she ever just sits around on a Sunday watching TV in her pjs-she's always traveling somewhere, or seeing a play, or going wine tasting....

(I tend to think these things when I'm sitting around in MY pjs on a Sunday, btw )

Even though I know it's a fantasy, when I think about this, I feel jealous and overwhelmed...like, omg, she must have this amazing life that I can never have/attain.

Does anyone else have an idea (fantasy or otherwise) of T's life outside of therapy?

She hasn't told me barely anything about her life, but I've heard info from other sources about her and I don't think she has a perfect life to be honest, nor do I fantasize that she does. I get the impression she's a workaholic, and I can tell from our sessions that she's very good at her job. I know a few of her hobbies, little tidbits about the area she lives in and her pets. But not much else.
