My T has a lot of opinions that she can't keep to herself. So at the beginning, even though she wasn't disclosing life details, I felt like I knew a lot about her by knowing her attitude toward things.

As time has gone on, she has said more. Like mentioning friends going to a concert I was think of going to. Or commenting about her vacation home, her dogs, her travel plans. She gave me a book of poetry her niece wrote.

I also generally prefer to know things about her so she doesn't feel like as much of a stranger. But sometimes it's hard.

There's a lot about her life that I am a little envious of either because I wish I had it or because I wish I had a maternal figure in my life who could share that with me.
