A T once told me that he and his wife had had an abortion many years earlier. I was talking about one I'd had a long time ago, and how hard it had been and how I regretted it. I guess he thought it would be helpful, but it kind of got in the way to know that.
Also, once when his wife was having a baby, and he had to cancel my appointment, I wished I didn't know about the baby. It made therapy awkward for a while. He was back in the office a week later (I suspect even before that, but that's when I had my next appointment). My issues were not important enough to bring him to his office with a week old baby at home. I felt really sorry for his wife. And I wanted to ask him about the baby, but I guess that wasn't an appropriate thing to talk about, because he was very brief when I mentioned anything about it.
