I said "maybe." I know with T, she's said there's one other client who e-mails her regularly. And she was hugging other clients before she was OK with hugging me. So I doubt with her that there's anything she does for me that she doesn't do for other clients.

With marriage counselor, I'm less sure. I know he texts (and I assume e-mails) with other clients. However, for the other couples he sees, I'm not sure if he allows individual out-of-session contact with any of them (like, one member of the couple contacting him via text or e-mail), as he does with me (text and e-mail, occasional phone calls). He discloses quite a bit about himself in general. But there were a few stories he told during one of his two individual sessions with me to address my transference that seemed particularly personal--about an ex and about who he wished his father had been and how he dealt with him not being that--so I'm not sure if he would have necessarily shared them with other clients. (The father thing related to my paternal transference--not sure about the ex story.)
Thanks for this!
