He tells me if his wife is working on one of his workdays, since it means he has to watch his kids and can't work.
He also tells me things if the situation calls for it. For example when I asked what he would describe as being open when you first meet someone, he told me about someone he met a few weeks ago and what they shared with him immediately (not a patient).
Other than that, usually the session before a longer break is a bit lighter, and he might say things about his past like "I took some English classes in high school" or "I once took a class on computer programming". But he doesn't share anything about personal issues or tells me a lot about his life. I like it this way, I feel that I otherwise would very quickly become dependent.
