Normally I would not say this but in light of all your posts, it sounds like your relationship with your therapist is really rocky and not particularly constructive. In addition, if your therapist is psychoanalytical and she is training to be a psychoanalyst, I am pretty sure you will never get information about her and her life. There are boundaries in all types of therapy but the boundaries are most strict in any type of analytical therapy. That boundary is an important part of the therapy.
In addition if your therapist has said that another type of therapy might be more appropriate, that may be a confirmation of what I am saying. You might be better if you try to identify some therapists that practice other types of therapy. There are real differences. And certain therapists are more willing to share personal information (although usually it takes time for that to happen, but longer term, such sharing information is possible).
