My T will answer anything I ask and often brings up her own things. Last week she told me she was an open book and I could ask her anything. I didn't realize what the trigger was, but I casually mentioned a clock she had in her office that was set to European time. It dawned on both of us that I was afraid she was going to leave me and move to Europe, just as my mother did when I was a teenager, which was a terrible experience for me. That clock has been sitting there for years, but I never made the connection and neither did she. We will work on that now, so if you can let your T know why it bothers you, you can make progess, no matter what the reasons are.
On the other hand, I don't want to know anything personal about my pdoc. It would be way too painful. He discloses very little, which is good for me.
good luck, and tell your T that it is bothering you. Their lives may look perfect, but I assure you they are not.
