At first, I felt like I knew nothing about my T. However, she has tried to relate to me at times by sharing a personal experience with me. I know that she is married and her husband has had his employer get sold (Mine was sold in 2006). She was on medical leave for a while because she injured her shoulder and needed surgery for it. She has also helped to care for an elderly relative in the past (I helped take care of my great aunt who died in 2005). I don't feel comfortable asking questions because my counseling classes discourages self-disclosure to clients. It has the potential to distract from the objective of the relationship and may get you into trouble if the client is the type to try to use it against you. Some of us can be manipulative in on own way because we NEED things that we can't seem to get for ourselves. My T just got a digital recorder and is working on learning how to use it. As you can tell, I have known my T for almost two years.
