LOL - I tried this - Orange Blossom even made one for me - wonder if I'm smart enough to go and find the post?? T and I joke about my "pocket t"

I really needed the fantasy of T living in that office, waiting for me, for a long time. I told him CLEARLY that I didn't want to know anything about his life outside of the office, unless it was something I specifically asked. I did find out early in therapy that he was married with a young daughter - because I asked - and THEN I realized, I really needed him to be in that office all the time and told him not to tell me anything else.

Very recently, T has started telling me tidbits about his life, and himself - just things that come up naturally in the course of the conversation. I'm guessing that we are at some point in therapy where he has decided I need to see him as a "real" person?? But I think if it upset me, and I told him, he would stop. I kind of like knowing a little more about T right now.

Echoes, I really DO think this could be an important topic for therapy....there is a lot to explore here. (((((((((((((((((ECHOES)))))))))))))))))
