The therapist does self-disclose at times, but always makes it clear that her patients and private life are separate. She said that her patients will never be a part of her private life. If so, then she shouldn't bring her private life into the professional setting at all. In a building that has over 20 floors and a lobby downstairs, there's no reason why that person had to wait in the clinic's waiting room.

Some of you said that I broke the frame by going back into the waiting room and the therapist's office to ask her a question. Sometimes I would have a sit in the waiting room after sessions to get myself together before leaving the building into the real world. Therapy isn't like going to your regular family doctor or hair dresser. Therapy does evoke strong feelings, and I think that therapists should be more sensitive about it.
