My T self discloses so he will answer me if I ask. I like that. But often our sessions will include no mention of his personal life, either past or present. Sometimes I do feel a little self centered, but then I tell myself, heck, I am the client, so it's OK. But it is therapeutic for me when he shares. Usually I leave it up to him to start self disclosing, rather than asking him, but in the last few months I have felt more confident in our relationship and my ability to ask. I can initiate these interchanges. It's been a big step for me.
