My T discloses a little. I know some fairly generic things about her life (her husband is a pdoc in the same practice, she has kids and one just started college, etc.).

I know some more detailed/personal stuff to though. She spends a lot of time normalizing my thought process and while often she refers to "people" in a general sort of way, sometimes she supports her argument with a more specific example - everything from how poorly her practice manages their office/secretarial staff to her political leanings to admitting she can be pretty self-critical or have trouble advocating for herself with authority figures too.

What makes this type of disclosure okay, I think, is that it's never very detailed and it's never about her needs. It's merely an example that no one has it all together and everyone struggles or whatever.
