I think a wise therapist should probably judge disclosure on a case by case basis. My therapist could have probably saved us both a bit of grief by demystifying things a bit. He didn't respond to my tentative questions, and I was too embarassed to go further until I did tons of research. Now mind you, I probably would have done the research anyway because I don't like the idea of someone mucking about in my brain without my knowing how. :) But I picked up a lot in my internet research that still causes me shame. If my therapist had been a bit more open, perhaps some of that stuff wouldn't have found such a foothold.
I think he regrets that now. He's way more open now than he was, and he still gets irritated when I quote the anti-whatever sites.
