Not at all. My T told me the Cliff Notes version of his therapy story in our very first session. It would be hard for me to do this with someone I had emailed twice and talked to for a total of 50 minutes. It was incredibly meaningful to me that he did that, considering the majority of my first session was me telling the brief version of my history and bemoaning psychotherapy in that I'm not sure it works. So +1 for therapeutic self disclosure.

We've also talked about his family a little, professional interests (since we have similar education backgrounds), and I know he's very eco friendly.

But favorite color? I'm kind of like SD in the regard that I don't really care that much about my T as a person. He's a professional service that I pay for.

The difference between SD and me, though, is I very much want T to care about me. But I digress.
