My T very rarely self-discloses, and when she does, it's brief and relevant (and not super personal). In the moment, I feel happy and somehow honored that she would share that information with me. In session, she usually says these kinds of things briefly or in passing, as part of a larger point, so I don't really have a chance to ask questions. I don't think I would, anyway, as I'm not in therapy to learn about her. (Although I would love to, don't get me wrong.)
