My therapist has shared some aspects of her personal life and past experiences. She shares a lot of information about her feelings and how she feels about me, our work and her responses to me. Sometimes this is very difficult for me to hear because it is not always positive. Sometimes this is very difficult for me to hear because she is moving too close to me. I value that we can acknowledge and work with this material - her reactions and mine.
I don't think you are over-thinking. If this is something you often find yourself thinking about, it is probably an area which needs a lot of attention. Take time to consider it.

"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?"

These seem like perfect questions to start a discussion with your therapist.
