> Perhaps his boundaries need to be a bit looser about self disclosure. If you could see your therapist as I see mine, it might be easier for you to accept what you have with him. It might hurt less that you don't have more.
He is careful with self-disclosure, although once in a while he will be chatty. He says if I knew him better, there would be things I didn't like about him. But I actually don't think that's true. I think I would like him a lot. I mean, I know he is different in real life than he is with me, but he couldn't be that different, or he wouldn't feel genuine. Also, one of the things he told me early on was that he has no children, just an autistic nephew who he helped raise. He talks sometimes, very lovingly, about his nephew. I ask periodically because his nephew is the same age as my daughter.
