That then assumes that the client cannot sense that something is different about the therapist. Huh? What assumes that? If a client feels burdened with a therapists problems, how could the client then not sense what she or he is already sensing? I think some clients might not "catch" it. Fine then if a client does not “catch it”, it’s not a problem and the point is moot. I am also certain that some other clients would immediately sense the difference, and thus it would have entered the therapy relationship regardless. OK then what’s your point here? In those cases I think therapy can only progress in a sensible way when the cards are on the table. In that case once harmful self disclosure occurs, instead of “laying the cards on the table”, it’s much better for the client and therapist to “cash in” the chips and find another gambling table which has a dealer who “deals straight”, without whining about their own hand life has dealt.
