I don't know. Sounds to me like she may have prefaced her question with, "I'm just curious but. . ." or something like that so it sounded as if she didn't care that much, it wasn't something she was dying to know (as personal questions about our T sometimes are?) and she could take an answer or not. I think she might have been trying to hedge her bets? I could see a response of "I'm not here to satisfy your curiosity" from a T to hopefully get one to realize that therapy isn't just about curiosity, it's much more serious than that and you aren't allowed to sit on the fence in that way, hide behind mere curiosity but have to come closer? Curiosity is a tentative thing, when we're not sure, just kind of see something that might be interesting and want to check it out. We're drawn toward something but not committed to it. With therapy I'd think a therapist would want one to be committed.
