My therapist tells me a lot about himself, which makes me feel a lot more comfortable with him. It helps me hold a normal conversation without feeling anxious. For example, I might say something like, "I tried pizza for the first time". Then he'll say something like, "Yeah, I love pizza. It's my favorite food. My f avorite type of pizza is pepperoni. Have you tried it?"

My old therapist, however, shared NOTHING about herself. She was also quite horrible, as she insulted me on many occasions. I don't know how she could consider herself a therapist.
