I know how much a therapist reveals is very personal and comes down to what they feel comfortable with and also their client, but I do wonder whether my therapist reveals too much. I have a very avoidant attachment so I know I am also prone to looking for any small detail that means I can push that person away. So it would be useful to get some outside perspective.

I know what brought them to therapy and what a little bit about there background. I know what they used to struggle with because what I struggle with they also struggle with. Or used to. I know they don't have a perfect relationship with their mother or other sibling, but seem to be in contact with them. The last few sessions have also been about them saying this is what i used to do when this happened to me.

However the fact they are so open has helped me massively open up. More then any other therapist i have had and i feel like i have more of a back anf forth with them and i don't feel responble for any of the things they say. However, I don't know whether we are both just avoidants and well my therapy is just having a chat? At what point do i know as the client that their sharing crosses that boundary?
