I think she is ok. You know, therapists probably suffer themselves, which determined them to choose this path of helping others. I think it's a small price to pay (to hear here and there a bit of stuff from their lives) for such a noble service. We are all humans and I think you should understand her and appreciate her efforts. After all, if you want something entirely objective, you'd have to deprive yourself of human contact, but that is the opposite of the nature of these services. The zone of helpfulness (hint: google it) is so hard to achieve in such situations. It's all fine, you can acquire some experience this way, which I find a healthy way to perceive the service you're receiving.
Oh no I totally agree. It’s just that I want to make sure the boundaries are clear and that no one steps them. I want to keep this healthy as I do really appreciate her. She’s absolutely lovely.
Is my therapist crossing boundaries?
