Yes, but it can also sometimes lead to a connection that makes it feel like it's ok to trust the other person (T) enough to talk to them and to share your deepest secrets. I have to know he's a real person, otherwise I would not feel ok to talk to him. It sounds like yours was more of an issue with feeling hurt by his boundaries, which is totally understandable and something I wish you could have explored with him, rather than knowing too much about your T. Of course you wanted to share something that was significant to you. I think it could have been very beneficial to explore how you felt about him not accepting the book, and I'm surprised he didn't bring it up.
