My T too discloses a bit more than usual. We have been back to in person sessions for a while now and it seems to be getting less again. But during our phone calls, there were a bunch of things that I think he'd normally not have shared. Like what kind of sports he usually likes to do, which wasn't possible during the lock down. He tried out some different activities and told me how they hurt his knees, stuff like that. I doubt he'd normally have told me. He also sometimes mentioned things about his own emotions, not connected to our session, for example that he was bothered by only sitting at home and sometimes went to his office to take calls from there, just to be outside. But it never felt like he was venting or that he needed me for emotional support.

I tend to agree with you, for me these disclosures helped me feel a lot closer to my T and I appreciate that he talked about these things. Now that we're back in his office, I feel that we are much closer on some level, and since he knows that he has mentioned certain things to me, sometimes he still talks about them. But there's much less 'new' disclosures, it's almost back to the level we were at before the whole pandemic thing started.
Thanks for this!
