The last one I saw did...TOO MUCH. I even asked her if she had unresolved issues and said that when she shared things it shut me down, made my life feel less important. She said that was interesting and that we needed to talk about it more, but we never did. She had mentioned earlier that she was trying to find ways to relate to me and understand me, but her selections were so far off base, it felt alienating. I should have left, but I kept hoping it would get better. Thankfully, she moved away.
The one I see now does not do that at all, and it's refreshing. I think she has only mentioned one thing, after I brought it up, and it was helpful because it's not a usual thing that people go through. It was nice to hear that she knew exactly what the impact had been. But she didn't focus on herself after that short disclosure. It was back to me. The other therapist would have gone on at length about herself. Clueless.
