Ex-T was person-centred but with a heavy CBT bias, she never disclosed very much in the way of personal stuff, until she had to, because it would ultimatately affect our being able to continue to work together.

Current-T is 'experiential'person-centred, which is almost the complete opposite of what I was used to. Although she (usually) only shares stuff that feels relevant to my therapy, having so much personal information given freely can feel quite daunting.

For someone who often finds themself in natural 'caretaker' mode, it is also quite difficult to remember that although I can care about her, it's not my job to take care of her.
