As long as you are improving and feel yourself getting better, that's what matters most. But please, do note when you feel uncomfortable with your therapist revealing things or blurring boundaries. It's just as important for you to learn to trust your instincts as it is for you to trust her--even more so.
The only thing my therapist has ever shared about herself is an involvement in an organization I brought up. She said she wouldn't normally share that, but her picture has been in the paper in relation to that group and other clients have mentioned that they saw it. Other than that, her way of showing care is to make our hour about me, not her. I just mention this to say that not revealing things can be good for the individual. Again, only you know what feels right for you. Just make sure you're listening to your gut.
