Who do you date? A dude name John Smith. tbh I'm glad I don't know much about my therapist. It's her life, not mine, I'm there to work on mine, why do I need to know her info.

Because my T and I have a relationship. I am not interested in my doctors' personal lives. I'm just not. It's different with my Ts, especially this one. My T works in a way that uses the relationship because I have attachment issues. I haven't googled her in 2 years! Give me a break! I've been seeing her for 7 years. It's the way I am. Knowing about her is important to me because I WANT, NEED to feel close to her. Yes, I know I WANT and NEED to feel close to the people in my life. T is a real person, though. Not a blank slate. I care about her. That's the way it is for me. I hardly talk about her personal life in sessions. I go on and on about me. I doubt that my explanation helped you understand but you asked, so I tried to answer.
