Today for example he told me something about himself as a child and made a point to say he shouldn't tell me that but it is relevant to our discussion.

I wanted to scream 'is there someone else here in the room that I'm not aware of that will tell on you?'

almedafan, I think your T was not concerned about your "telling on him" that he had self disclosed. He was just acknowledging that his theoretical orientation and practice frowns on self disclosure, but nevertheless, he felt it would help in that situation, so he did it. He's just giving a nod to his training but forging on with a bit of eclectism. My T's orientation does allow for therapeutic self disclosure, so he wouldn't feel he had to apologize for doing it.
