This is a lot of what my T says. I did ask her one time when our relationship (T and mine) was in a rupture phase, if she'd ever been through therapy herself. She declined to answer with the qualifications that she was declining at that moment.

I am glad that she does not self-disclose very much.
Thanks for this!
