Wow emmanuel, that must hurt to get those types of responses to normal questions you ask your pdoc. I would find that very hard to deal with. In fact, I'm not sure I could work with a person who had such close boundaries around basic personal information, and not a warm and understanding way of saying no when you stray too far with questions. Because, of course you are curious at least sometimes. Who wouldn't be? We all want to know a little about the people we talk to frequently.
My current T will answer almost anything, and I know lots about his family, hobbies, life experiences, etc. My previous T was a bit more tight with that type of info, but she was very warm when answering. She never said she wouldn't answer, she'd just smile warmly and give a very limited answer, which communicated what was necessary, but also seemed accepting of my asking.
Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you know that this reaction of his is about him, not anything wrong with you.
