I actually think t should answer those questions. The answers have to do with the therapy she provides. For some people, a t who doesn't/hasn't seen a t themselves is not one to enter into therapy with. And style of therapy is also something that I think a t should be very willing to discuss. Plans for Christmas or preferences in dating partners or ages of kids-those type of questions I would be ok with t not answering.
