Interesting viewpoint. My former T told me she would be showing real feelings during sessions because thatīs how she is. I donīt think she meant crying and yelling but more of showing feeling sad if she felt sad about things I told her or happy if I told her something more positive about my life. I think for me itīs one of the most important things, that a T can share his or her feelings and to share a story from his or her own life it has something to do with my own story and my own issues.
I see some people look at it differently but itīs still very interesting hearing about what others experienced and learned about their T:s.

If my T were crying in her office I would prefer she take care of herself and have the receptionist reschedule me. I wouldn't want to see my T sobbing in the office and I doubt she'd ever let me. It's not that I don't care about them, but I don't really want to know much about my T or pdoc's personal problems unless it would of help to me.
