Yeah, mine only has sons, too--I have wondered whether I'd feel differently if he had a daughter (I probably would).
Your therapist showing you photos of his kids sounds nice. I love it when my therapist does things to let me into his life--I've found that his sharing just a little bit of himself goes quite a long way to making me feel at ease with him. He doesn't tell me a whole lot about his family; I know that he has two boys, and I know how old they are. Sometimes he tells me about conversations he has with them, or things they've done together. He never talks about his wife. However, he's pretty open about himself; he tells anecdotes about his childhood pretty often, which I love. He also talks about his experience in grad school pretty readily (I'm in grad school now, and lots of our work centers around this).
Anyway! Glad to know I'm not alone :)
