I'm really glad, rsk. :)
I'm always glad if something I say reaches someone. And hearing what other people say helps me sort things out in my mind.
I think that sometimes it is definitely appropriate to use disclosure to help bond, or to help a client stay focused and present and connected. Do you feel like he's doing it too much, or changing the focus of the session away from you? I think if it feels right to you, in context, you should trust that. But if it doesn't feel right, you can trust that too.
It sort of sounds as if the honeymoon is over with your therapist? I think I remember that in my therapy. Well, if there was a honeymoon at all. I found therapy very frustrating for a while. It felt like he misunderstood every single thing I said. Fortunately, trying to get him to understand helped me understand.
I hope you have a nice vacation! How long will you be gone?
