Has your T ever told you something secretive about him/her before? How did you react? Do you like that your T feels safe with you to be intrusted with such secret(s)?

I hope not. And for me, good god no - it would not make me feel good.

No. That would seem entirely inappropriate. We are not there to serve our T's in that capacity.

No and I am not the type of person that they should be sharing secrets with.

Yes he has confided in me and I'm an idiot for keeping his secrets when he has broadcast mine. Sometimes you just have to do what you believe in, in spite of the injustice (well that's what I say for now...).

No I don't think I would be comfortable with that-, she told me she use to have anxiety in college, but that's not a secret.

Post therapy, my T has shared some deeply personal things with me, but always in a circumspect way, and nothing I have any reason to suspect was "secret."

Not anything that wouldn't be therapeutically helpful. She has talked about different things she's struggled with, but only as a way to show me that she understands me and what I am going through. She's never asked me to keep a secret, and I think that would be a huge red flag.

Personal stories and some heartfelt self-disclosure, but never a "secret" that can't be shared.

I would not say so much confide in me as to her sharing harrowing things from her past that was therapeutically beneficial to my healing.

We are there to find ourselves. Not to be a container for a therapist.
If confiding in a client is the only way a therapist believes can create intimacy, find a different therapist. I do not confide in my children. Thats unfair an abuse of the relationship. I nurture them. |

Yes! A few times.. And they tend to make me feel I should stop what I'm saying. She's never confided anything where I think "wow, she knows what I am feeling".

I think I had horrible therapy. She came highly recommend. I think I have lost all faith in this field. :-(
She ended really weirdly as well. It's been months and even now i feel kind of irritated and very angry at her. But I keep telling myself let it go. Reading through this forum is very eye opening for me. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk |

He has "confided" a few things about his past that relate to what we are discussing or how I might mis-perceive something as he did at that time...
If I ask him a direct question, he will usually answer..but nothing that is too intimate, never about his family members specifically and nothing that I would feel burdened by. But yes, personal to him just as I continually and honestly tell him things about myself. Would I betray his trust. NO. Would he betray my trust. NO. That's why he is my T. If I wanted to talk to a brick wall or a total stranger I would go the corner..talk to wall while waiting for the bus..  wb

No, that has never happened. It would feel really weird and make me question my T's competence.

Yes, he told me he was sleeping with one of his clients.... oh wait sorry, that was just a dream I had, LOL. No, my therapist has never told me to keep anything a secret, if he did that would probably scare me.
