May I ask how, in session, you know which is “real” and which is not? How do you know you got a glimpse of the person behind the curtain? That’s a question for anyone, not just GC.
I think one way to see the "real" therapist while in session is when you go off-topic, not talking about therapy related things. For instance, one time I was very excited about new makeup I bought, and she made a joke about one of her friends who was also excited about the same makeup. That was how I learned that she appreciates makeup but couldn't give a rat's *** about it in her own life. That's something that isn't relevant to therapy but is a detail about her "real" life.
