I agree that the client-therapist relationship is particularly important in this type o therapy. Somehow I still see small glimpses of my T's personality come through despite not knowing much about her. I don't know how to explain it but yeah... sometimes she will swear in session which I like because it feels like she is being more "real" with me just little things like that i guess. Maybe you could try telling your T what you've said here?
