Hi coco, my therapist tells me a lot of stuff about himself. It helps him seem like a real person to me, and aids in our having a mutualistic and deep relationship. It is right for him and me. Some therapists, however, do not include self disclosure in their therapeutic toolkit, or might limit it to a subset of clients. You could ask your T if she believes in self disclosure with her clients.
