I think that I knew a lot about my old t as far as personality and interests and background. I'm not so sure about family life, but I knew a little. I always wished that I knew more about her personal life but not about her family, if that makes sense. Hearing about her own children would always make me feel jealous almost.

I didn't know anything about this latest t.

It is important for me to know about my therapist outside of simply her job. It makes the therapist seem more like a real person to me. It comforts me to know that she is more than just a doctor, that she has feelings and worries and hobbies just like me.
