I'm similar with self-disclosure. A part of me loves it. My T used to rarely give me anything. This has changed over the past year and I now get much more from him although still all well within good boundaries. I don't know if it's a technique, a change of approach or if he just finds himself more relaxed with me and lets things slip a little easier. When he does it I enjoy it. I want to know more but I find myself almost not knowing what to say in response. I don't want to ask questions for fear he will stop giving anything. I want to respond but find I end up just changing the subject which is so not how I would be in the outside world. It's a really weird scenario and confusing.
