I had a male pdoc. that stated on my first visit, that he was not my friend, he was my doctor, and that his personal life did not pertain to my therapy. It frustrated me at first to not know anything about him. But as I look back now, I respect that. I thought I needed to know stuff about him so I could feel comfortable enough to share my problems but I now feel he was right. I've gone to several doctors since then and now feel comfortable sharing with therapists out of respect for their field until they do something that causes me to not want to express myself to them anymore.
