My T shares her thoughts and feelings mostly about me, not herself. She tells me that she cares about me. Mostly it's been positive things, but lately she's given me some constructive criticism, and advice, which is hard for me to listen to.
She talks about her feelings about herself, basically, only when I ask. Once I asked what she was afraid of, and she answered. When she was going through her divorce, she told me when I asked also. Afterwards, I asked if she was happy, and I got an answer. If I don't ask, she doesn't tell me because she wants to keep the focus on me. An exception is when she comments on my telling her something about her, like when I said something terrible about her weight, or when I drove past her house without permission. She wanted me to know how she felt.
