How do people even know this about their therapist? I have to say I'm always astounded whenever someone here mentions that they know what their T experienced in life (mental illness, divorce, etc.). None of the therapists I have seen have ever mentioned the harships they faced in life, either in session or on their website. Honestly I'd like to know: it would make them more human and relatable. The only thing I know about my current T is that I found a pic on FB of a bottle of rosé announcing "first spring barbecue!" so I'm guessing she drinks socially. Someone who doesn't drink at all is rare in my country. Most people drink. If you don't drink at all, you're looked at with almost suspicion.
