My first T never did in our interactions but talks about his clients (anonymously) and presents stories on his online media very frequently. Usually in the context of how wonderful and helpful a therapist he is. It is nauseating.

Second T did a few times in session, in the context of what I was sharing but not really to normalize... more to contrast sometimes. I did not mind unless it took too much time. More frequently, he emphasized how unique and unlike any stereotype or common client I was, how I did not fit in any easily discernible pattern - I did not like that at all, it sounded like he used those arguments to justify that he had no clue what to do with me and that's what most people have told me in my whole life already. The way he most often tried to make my experiences relatable was comparing them with himself. Often excessively and not exactly realistically. I really would just prefer discussing things without these "techniques".
