To me, it just makes the relationship more normal and more equal.

It also shows me how human and real and authentic he is with me...

shows me he truly understands and is listening...

And why not learn from his mistakes as well as my own.

And it shows he trusts me.

My T told me after the 1st 2 or 3 sessions that she was a csa survivor too. I was shocked & pleasantly surprised at the same time. She seemed so at ease talking about it & it's taken me over a yr to even mention it!.

The oddest thing is, he retired from private practice 5 years ago but he still sees me. That and the fact that when he had a hip replacement and I broke my leg, we emailed daily to check on each other.
