Mair, I agree with Dinah. Therapists are professionals and maintain good boundaries (hopefully) but they're people, too, so sometimes patients pick up on some very real signals that the therapist is under strain of some kind. A good therapist will acknowledge it because it can actually be crazy-making to deny a patient's perceptions. A good therapist will be able to acknowledge it but know just how much to disclose without burdening the patient, especially if the patient is a caretaking type of person.
