What do you prefer? Do you know if your T has any history like/unlike yours?
Would you want to know if your T has or has not experienced trauma or mental health issues?

T1 when I was very young disclosed some of her issues and I found it unhelpful to my therapy. T2 had a different kind of trauma than mine and disclosed she had been through therapy. T3 I have no idea. I think the woman was bat crap crazy. Current T I don't know. I'm perfectly okay with not knowing about my T's trauma or mental health issues. If they care to share, then that's okay but it usually causes me some form of discomfort. Kit
