I used to see a Pdoc for a year or two, many years ago, and this person was surprisingly distant. No touch of any kind (said it's ethically against the rules), nothing personal shared. Good therapist but I never felt that sense of closeness with this person.

When I saw a therapist, a person with masters in counseling psych, this person was more friendly and closer and more likely to share things personal. I don't know why, but today I was reminded of that, of whether the difference between the two was based on personality differences, different ethical rules (as devised by professional societies that had licensed them), or different nature of the jobs they had.

There are many different kinds of therapists out there. Example:

Licensed professional counselor
Psychiatrist
Psychoanalyst
Marriage/family therapist
Licensed clinical social worker
Psychologist
etc

Do you think it is reasonable to expect that they would have different kinds of boundaries based on their title and their job, or are differences in boundaries always based on personality differences (or mode of therapy, as in when humanist therapists share more personal details).

Thank you very much for sharing your view, especially if you've had experiences with different sorts of therapists over the years.
