@boz & CE- I have a friend who’s a therapist, and she is TERRIBLE to ask questions to. She shuts down, skirts around issues, never fully answers things, rarely gives much info about how she’s feeling (we’re friends of circumstance within a larger group- but she’s the same with all of us). I never made the connection of her being a therapist and being in the habit of dodging personal inquiries. (Personally, I just think she is a little “I’m smarter than you” which is why she was drawn to the therapy profession in the first place...) Anyway! Your posts just made me think of her.
