And it works very well. She has never given me any of her issues in doing so and I would tell her if she ever did.
SF, this sounds like me and my T too. She is very open about her opinions and experiences when it is relevant and helpful to my therapy. It really is a blessing to have a T who knows the "art" of appropriate disclosure, isn't it? I'm so glad you have a T you can trust and feel safe with.
