I think intimacy in therapy, like others pointed out, is always fake and one-sided. Even when the therapist discloses something, they're still in control and they're not the ones spilling their guts. The clients are. I see therapists as voyeurs. All of them. When I look back on my own therapy, it's creepy how interested my ex-therapist was into some of the stuff I shared (and not at all in the rest -what a surprise). I think some distance is always good with these people, I wouldn't trust them too much.
