I think I know what you mean about your therapist dislosing stuff. Mine used to say stuff like "are you surprised that a lot of people stay together for the sake of the children?" and other stuff that sometimes I really wonder if he was talking about himself, and wanting me to take care of him.
Hmh.
Also, his face used to reflect a response to everything I said, Sometimes, I know, it was an automatic response you'd give to a client to show sympathy or understanding ... but many times it seemed to be a genuine personal reaction to something I said about myself. I hated that, and called him on it over and over again until now, his face is like stone. Last session he blushed for about thirty seconds and then got ahold of himself. I'd just given him a conclusion I'd come to about him.
The last few times I've seen him, I haven't been able to look at his face when I say anything really important. I always look at the wall or the ceiling. I don't want to know what he's reacting to. \
Anybody know what that's about?
