Recently,
I am of the variety that I just plain don't want to know. My t does psychoanalysis and is the drier type by nature I believe. He does though answer questions if I ask. I just don't usually ask. For me, knowing too much isn't helpful. I think knowledge of my t will come when I can handle it. For example, he went into a deep example of a belief of his early in therapy that just freaked me out. I had to email how I felt. I was unable to tell him directly. Now I can tell him when he oversteps but now he rarely does.
I recently found out more personal information, due to his helping my son with a school project but I was ok with this.
This is why I think the information should be disclosed slowly. Just like in any other relationship. You find things out naturally.
JMHO.
