I see both sides. I don't have to share what I choose not to with her either. I'm paying her to work with me. I don't ask to see a photo of my cleaning lady's ex husband, but if she wanted to see a photo of my deceased h, I'd show her. I don't know. It's hard because my T and I are compatible. Past Ts I wouldn't think of asking !
SOP = Standard Operating Procedure.

I guess my point is that people naturally need mutuality, therapists block this, then make the client feel strange/wrong for wanting it, as if the one-way intimacy is normal. It's an inversion of reality.
Thanks for this!
