Thearpist telling about herself in Thearpy

[Elizabethn]

I'll add my vote to the idea that your T was trying to show empathy and make a connection with you. Therapy relationships have very different rules and boundaries from social relationships, and those need to be learned. (Heck, lots of T's spend YEARS learning that stuff and still mess up at times!)

I'd like to encourage you to bring up the subject at your next session and to say that you didn't understand what was going on. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to know exactly what she meant by sharing that stuff, and then I'd want to talk about the feelings it brought up.
