Yes my T does, but has lessened since the beginning. She told me right off in our first session together that sometimes she starts talking and can't stop, and that I need to interrupt her and tell her to shut up! lol.
I think she has figured out with me that too much self-disclosure is not helpful, so while she does relate things from her life that resonate with mine, it isn't that often, and I am okay with that. I like that she is human with her own foibles, but I don't want to know the intricacies of her life.
She is also very genuine-seeming in her interactions with me, so that is more important to me than any of her own history.
