I know what you mean and I agree. I don't feel the need to know about her personal life, but yeah it's nice to have some insight on the person you tell everything just through lighter conversations like interests and such. Surely the amount that I know the therapist could increase my trust, but I don't think trusting her depends on that by any stretch. I have another recent thread that probably gives more sense to why I'm questioning her trust. I just want to know I'm cared for and trusted, as a client, regardless of how much I actually get to know her or anything else. I can identify the goals that would make me feel secure in therapy
