Has anyone wondered if your therapist has ever googled *you*?
I understand the therapeutic relationship is set up in a way that can leave the client curious as to the outside life of the therapist, but I wonder if they ever get curious as well.
I try to tell my therapist, Beefcake, as I affectionately refer to him, everything about myself, but not only is that difficult to do in one hour each week, but sometimes I wonder if there are things I classify as unimportant that perhaps he wouldn't. Does he ever wonder if there are things I'm not telling him? Did he wonder what my story was before I had enough time to tell it? (*If* I've even told it all, yet.) Beefcake has asked me some very pointed questions about my life, but not necessarily a ton of them. Do your therapists ask many specific, "non-feeling" related questions?
Just thinking out loud.
