Do therapists really help by sharing about themselves?

I asked practitioners.
I asked clients.
Then I shared a story about how one disclosure completely shifted a client's perception of her psychologist.
No theory today ..just real perspectives.
This is the kind of conversation I love holding inside Shine

Real experiences. Real impact. Real reflection.
Tell me... how do you feel about therapist self-disclosure?

💗 Attachment Theory x Shine Counselling

I’m Claudia from Shine Counselling Services ✨

Attachment isn’t a flaw,it’s how your heart learned to feel safe.
Sometimes we chase love, sometimes we pull away,
and sometimes we protect what once felt uncertain.

Healing isn’t about changing who you are —
it’s about softening what you built to survive,
and learning that safety can start within. 💫

And who said mental health can’t be pink?
We love pink in this office 💗
