Current t shares thoughts and feelings as appropriate in session. She's always done that. Actually, most my t's have. I tend to worry about making them mad or disappointed,so I think it's been out of necessity if I bring up that worry. Current t and I spend a lot of time talking about the transference because it's almost always present and "loud". That necessitates talking about her actual feelings vs my perception or belief of how she is feeling - reality checks in a way.

I think it all has a time and place. While it can make us feel guilty at times, that just another thing to look at in therapy (if you want to). I wouldn't want t sharing so much that the entire session goes by talking about her stuff, but I appreciate her humanity.
