Hi Karen. I hate to see you feeling picked on by this topic, even if that wasn't Dinah's intent. Let me try to be reassuring here... all therapists work differently from each other, and work differently with different clients. We can't really know your therapist's motivations for disclosing those things to you. Perhaps as you've suggested, he's doing it specifically as a way of working with your attachment issues. But ultimately you're the judge of whether he's working well with you or not, and it sounds like you are fine with the disclosures.
Hey, if you do have any doubts, how about asking him why he discloses so much? Maybe tell him some people have questioned whether it's good for therapists to disclose so much.. see what he says. It might be very reassuring.
