In reply to not knowing about your therapist's real life, posted by LG04 on May 18, 2004, at 7:33:16
I think the feelings are totally normal. How long have you been seeing your Therapist? As some point, I think we get comfortable enough to realize that we are connected in this strange, lopsided way. And I think there is a wide range of disclosure.
I know the basics about my Therapist -- married, grown kids, wife's a therapist, how long in practice, that he is a Cancer, etc. I know a few hobbies and what kind of car he drives...basic details. But last week I had a dream that he wanted me to pack for him to go away on vacation. He gave me a list of things like CDs, and car snacks. But I didn't know how to pack because didn't know what he liked.
I haven't told him about the dream yet, your post reminded me of it. I'll let you know what he says...
I'd like to know what yours says too, when you bring it up, if you want to share. It is interesting to think about.
