> Penny, what about the previous therapist you wrote about (the one you left when you moved)? Was she a blank-slate and, if so, did you find that she told you more things as you were leaving?
She wasn't a blank slate by any means, but she wasn't overly open about her personal life either. There were many things I wanted to know, and I would ask her, and she would respond with "and why do you want to know?" instead of just telling me. She would turn it around to try to pull something out of me, but I would almost always respond with "I'm just curious. I just want to know." I don't know that I believe there has to be some underlying motivation to make us want to know something, but I suppose I could be wrong.
But, anyway, that was a long answer to your question. The short answer is, no, she didn't share anymore information about herself closer to our ending therapy than she had before.
