My T tells me a LOT about her and I find it helps me a lot. My exT before her was such a blank slate therapist that it always left me longing to know more about her. This T...dang, I know about her 2 kids, their names, her parents, her brother, I know about what her college years were like to an extent, her 3 cats and her dog. She tells stories all of the time about her friends and family when they are relevant. I also know that she has been in therapy herself before, but has no mental health diagnosis. And today she finally told me how old she is haha...36, almost 37. I really like my relationship with her.
