My T-on-leave didn't shared much personal things with me. She hasn't shared much feelings about me. Once she said that a letter I wrote worried her. But that kind of things she didn't said much. She's so T, she hasn't shared much about herself with me. I wish she would.
Current T does share feelings and thoughts and feelings with me. I've now see her about 6 times and I already now more about her than I know about T-on-leave. I like that she shares things about herself.
This T is a different kind of T than T-on-leave, so maybe that's also why this T shares more about her (schema therapist).
I don't think telling/sharing some things about yourself is ''bad'' for the client. It might depends on the client. But so far with this new T, her sharing has only been positive for me. She also said I could ask her anything I want.
I've only googled her once, while I've googled other T so many times. Maybe the sharing helps.

This is how my new T is.
