Oh-I found out all about it-it's called self-disclosure now. It's used either for specific results or by more conservative analyists to avoid unplanned counter-transferrence and violation of patient boundaries.

I haven't had the opportunity to give him feedback yet, other than a quick call, so I'm sure he'll adjust his methods-pace, etc. accordingly. He's probably just trying to get a feel for my response and all, which I didn't yet have the opportunity to convey.
Thanks--I would have never learned this had you not said anything.
