I had a session with my T yesterday. She's always been really good about not giving out information about herself. I used to find that hurtful or difficult to deal with. Lately she's been letting little bits of pieces come out. It's weird 'cause part of me is so happy to get a glimpse of who she is, but in some ways it makes me uncomfortable.
We were talking about how the things that people say/do affect us. She works off the theory that the patterns repeat themselves from the past. Everything is left over feelings from childhood. She told me that she sometimes feels left out of her family and that she's come to realize it was something from her childhood. Now I feel bad for her that she feels left out of her own family. I'm not exactly obsessing about it, but there's a degree of discomfort there. I'm also thrilled that she trusts me enough to tell me something like that. I hate having conflicting feelings like this. Anyone else experience anything like this?
I really don't want to talk to her about it
'cause then she may not ever tell me anything about herself. I dunno. It's a tough situation.
