I agree his reply was kind of offensive, "it's not my job..." He could have been gentler and said, "although some therapists incorporate self-disclosure into therapy with their clients, I keep my personal life completely separate and believe we can do effective therapy without your knowing those things about me." To me, it sounds like she was trying to build the relationship with the T by asking him to share, and she was rudely rebuffed. Ouch!
