My boss, who is a good friend, knows I go to therapy. But I don't discuss the content with her. She used to go to family therapy with her daughter, so she appreciates its value. My mother and 2 sisters also know I go to therapy. Occasionally, I've talked a little bit it about it, something like this, "yesterday, I told my therapist this..." And then we will discuss whatever I told him, usually practical stuff (e.g. how the divorce is going), not stuff about the therapeutic relationship, or how I miss my T when he goes away, etc. Both of my sisters have gone to see therapists at one time in their life or another, and know how helpful it can be.

In general, my therapy is just too private and personal to share (e.g. trauma work).
