Hangingon,
I think it's very special (and can be helpful) for t's to disclose certain things about themselves. In your case, knowing that your t has been through similar things helps you to feel that she understands. My t once said something about having therapy, and I asked, "Do therapists have therapy?" She said, "Yes, how do you think we could do this job if we didn't?" (or something like that). But she never disclosed what her therapy was about. . .if it was personal therapy or supervision/consultation. I'd like to know more about her, but then I'd probably spend too much time thinking about her and her issues, rather than my own!
