I've even had a T comp me my hour because we spent it talking about her. I came to session and she was so sad it made me cry. So I just hugged her and asked why she was so sad. At first she said she was fine but I called BS and told her how she was making me feel. Then she broke down crying lots of crap was going on and she probably should have taken a personal day. I don't know whether it's intuition or what but I'm HIGHLY sensitive to others emotions. I also have severe trust issues and deflect a lot. I tend to learn a ton of personal stuff about my Ts and Pdocs because of this.

I've actually had a T I was seeing for the first time wig out on me and pretty much boot me out the door because I kept getting her to divulge personal info. It's not something I do on purpose it's just purely a defense mechanism.

I know for a fact that every T I've ever seen has been in therapy themselves. Only one of my Pdocs had regular therapy. The others just went as needed.
