Like alcoholic fathers except she went in way detail

***[[potential trigger warning]]***
She told me her dad was abusive in more than just verbally and emotionally. She told me she was molested by her dad
***[[end]]***

I felt like she completely understands. But now that I'm sitting here thinking about it, I feel like I just got immersed into therapy. She was eating lunch when I called her. I told her I'd call her back but she said it was fine and she was going to enjoy her lunch while on the phone. Another thing that slightly bugs me is that she used my name a lot. Like every other sentence seemed to have my name in it somewhere. Is it a way t's try to remember names? She also gave me her personal cell phone number to send her a copy of my insurance card so she could call them. It seems so.. Suddenly in my face..? Type thing.

Am I just being overly anxious? And over thinking? :/

That's an awful lot for a T to share on an initial phone consultation...I'd be a bit concerned about boundaries. She could have just said something like, "I hae experience working with that type of trauma" or something. On the profile, it says she's been in practice less than a year, so might just be she's really inexperienced and doesn't realize the effect oversharing can have? And, yeah, the saying your name frequently thing could have been a way to connect, I don't know.
