Hi Blossom,
I think it might be important that you talk about this with your T, just to get it very clear what is really happening. As you know, we tend to get mixed up in transference and projection, etc., and it might be essential to your understanding of your therapeutic relationship for you and your T to talk this through. Would you find it helpful to check out with him how many of the signals you are reading are signals he is actually sending?
How long have you been seeing this T? And what were your primary concerns the ones that prompted you to see a T in the first place?
You make it clear that you understand that him telling you so much about his life is not appropriate, and probably few here would disagree, some very strongly. What are you hoping for from us here? I'm not clear if you're just airing things that are going on in your therapy, or if you feel in some way at risk. If you could be clearer about that, you might get a little more feedback. I would like to understand better.
Take care, Blossom.
