This is only likely to come up with a male T and a younger woman, you think?
As a young man with a middle aged female T it would have been unthinkable.
I can't imagine what effect it would have had, if only because she was into Winnicott, Mahler and Klein. Which is to say (only in part) that she used her breasts as a metaphor. I certainly took it then as metaphor.
I'd be very uncertain about this kind of disclosure. My initial feeling was that it shouldn't be done, but then I wondered if it might serve to make someone like me more present in the room and no longer operating in a metaphor.
You'd probably want to keep Kleinians away from sexual disclosure....it's hard to imagine, actually.
