Re: not knowing about your therapist's real life

In reply to not knowing about your therapist's real life, posted by LG04 on May 18, 2004, at 7:33:16

I am one of those people who others naturally divulge things to. I genuinely care and ask questions, but I am very reserved myself. I'm outgoing, but I don't talk about my personal life. In every relationship, I know more about the other person than they do about me, and I like that just fine.

But . . . I hate it, hate it, hate it in this therapy relationship. It's not that I want or need to know all about him, but the scales are tipped, and I am the open book. I hate the one-sidedness of it all. However, he seems willing to talk about himself. I'm used to asking people questions to engage them in conversation, but it's not appropriate in this situation. (I slip a lot, though.)

It will never be equal, and I hate things that are out of whack like that.
