My second therapist usually does not tell her clients her religious beliefs for fear clients will judge her work and thoughts without getting to know her.
She realized for me it will be helpful to know she is also Catholic. We have many theological discussions and how they relate my life and healing.

I love how both your therapists were cognizant of how what/how they shared was in direct line with your therapeutic needs. Truly a blessing. I respect your second therapist's perspective on keeping that information to herself, in general practice, but recognizing how sharing actually benefitted the interaction you two had.
