Iīve been with my new T for about three months now and the last time I saw her she shared some personal stuff with me. It was about her not being able to become a mother and she shared a few details about that.
She told me this with a connection to some of the problems I see her for and to bring me some perspectives on my own problems. It was nothing about her complaining or wanting me to feel sorry for her and I feel this sharing was completely valid.
But now I donīt now how to follow up on this. The thing she shared was personal and I want to show I care and that I have thought about what she told me. At the same time I donīt want to get too personal and say something like "I feel sorry for you".
I donīt know how she want me to follow up on this and I donīt want to make it a big deal out of it or make her think that I want to pry or anything. And I donīt want to say "I donīt know how to react to what you shared with me" as Iīm not that unsure of myself, I dare say something about it. But I donīt know exactly what to say at the moment.
How do you respond to your T sharing personal details? How to not be too private/personal and at the same time not too ignorant or shallow in my comments to what she shared?
