Awww, sweetie. I don't mean to pick on your therapist. He certainly isn't the only one doing it. I'm just trying to figure out how to tell if they are making a well reasoned decision that has a good probability of being in our long term best interests. Because I'm sure everyone thinks their own therapist is doing that, and just as obviously not all therapists are doing that. So there really should be some guidelines that we, as informed consumers, can use.
And I'm not sure how we feel about it is a good guide. I'll bet any one of the people here who have been hurt by therapist overdisclosure thought that it felt like a good idea at the time.
And I'm not trying to pick on Bubba. I actually don't think his disclosures have done you any real harm (unless they've played a role in the current situation). My therapist might argue that it's a diversion from the real work of therapy, but he and I differ on that concept a bit.
