In the place where I go to therapy, the Ts don't decorate the offices because they use different rooms all the time. So there is not an ounce of dislcosure there. There are little things he has disclosed to me indirectly. So I know that he is interested in literature and well-read. I love the way he does it. If I mention a book, he won't say, "I read that," rather, he will make subtle comment about the content of the book, or about the author, that will let me know that he knows and appreicates the work. Oh yeah, and he disclosed that he is extremely familar with and admires the work of Nancy McWilliams. Ok, so there is some personal disclosure there. You know what? Thinking about that now, makes me really, really appreciate the fact that he disclosed it.... Because he so seldom engages in personal disclosure.... so if he does, he must think that it's really important and will benefit me therapeutically.... knew it would possibly help me stay connected. With the McWilliams thing, he knew that it would be beneficial for me to know about that.
