My therapist is wonderful. The only personal question that I asked outright, was, what was her religion? With which she replied, that it really did not matter because whatever she would say about religion would along with everything else she says, has to be thought about and taken to heart after consideration and I can't just take her word because she is the same religion or because she is the therapist. I don't know if I explained it right. It really helped me to see I have power and not to be led along (like in past experiences).
She is very knowledgable in therapy, not so much in bi-polar, but it has not posed a problem. She treats me as someone who is coming for therapy, not another illness with excuses. Have I said it clearly ?
I don't want to talk about her, I want to discuss my life. I can tell a lot about her by her office and little comments that come up once in a while. I used to think I wanted to know a lot about these people so I can feel more open to share, but I'd rather get down to business now.
My teenage daughter had some major memories she would not talk to me about, and I referred her to my psychologist and they have come so far in a short time because they got down to work each week, I owe her a huge thank you.
I guess it's whatever you feel comfortable with at this time in your life !!!!!!!
