You know, you're exactly right. What he disclosed was something that made me wonder what he thought of *me*, and was probably not an appropriate disclosure. The fact that he wouldn't have said it if he did think badly of me isn't really the point.
I guess that while I don't idealize him precisely, it bothers me to see that he may be more judgmental as a person than he is as a therapist. Because down under there is a person, and I don't want him to feel badly about me. In some ways it may be scary even to have him judge me well, since what can be judged well today can be judged negatively tomorrow.
Hmmm.... I suppose this wasn't about growing up at all. It might have been about not growing up more than growing up.
I did say something obliquely about his disclosure. Maybe now he knows it bothered me he won't repeat the error.
