I agree that therapists who share parts of themselves and their lives in session help to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship. Mine does this and I value it. My point is that despite their disclosures and despite love in therapy and despite all these glorious bonds we experience in therapy, we do not have a complete experience of our therapists. If you believe otherwise, I think you are heavily invested in seeing your therapist as the good parent which is an understandably naive position but ultimately an incurious one.
