My 1st T had an office in her house. Sometimes when I pull up to park, I'd see her husband come out. I knew she had five kids-- I knew that they went to good colleges. I knew where she went on vacation.
My current T? Nothing. I guess he's married since he wears a wedding ring. I can get an implicit idea that he appreciates literature. Ummm let's see.... what else? He likes socks because he wears them? Haha, very much a blank slate, as you can imagine.
I, too, felt that I knew too much about my 1st T. I didn't know what transference was back then. But I must have been feeling it. My mother was too self-absorbed to support me in going to college-- and I knew that my T's kids were going to really good colleges... so I was really mad about that. But I never expressed it to her.
Wow, I can't believe I had a female T. But that's a separate tangent.
