But how many people in therapy healing CPTSD can say they find therapy comfortable. We have CPTSD and therapy is interpersonal, this is all uncomfortable

some of these comments are uncomfortable

OP , hey, if you are finding therapist uncomfortable because of this reason and this reason only it is rational of you to wonder why therapist is talking so much about himself, has it always been this way or did it develop into sessions? There are points to consider as you attempt to ask for an explanation as to why your therapist isn't actively getting you to talk.
- when did you notice this
- has it altered in duration

- is there a turning point

"T- excuse me for interrupting, I just noticed you've started talking about yourself again, you have been doing this more than I am comfortable with, this is a very important hour for me, have you been aware of how much you have been including yourself into my therapy?"

After you have managed to find some words to ask T
- you want to be aware of T's next reaction, (keep grounded) did they seem pleased with you or surprised or unpleased

This will give you some information on whether T knew they were oversharing or not

you don't know for sure so, listen to the response

​

How has therapist reflected and communicated -does T begin with 'I' or 'you'
Did T seem to reflect realisation that T had done this

or not

You're looking for confirmation and validation words that it has been inappropriate therapy

If T see's no fault or can't give you much information on it, you can really consider terminating because this T is not aware enough.

If T validates you, you have a real chance hear to ask some questions and to try and find a resolution

You have all the information you need to respond to all this safely for you, sorry it is hard you have to do this, why is T doing this!! BUT, it can be completely resolved for you, perhaps start by writing down questions you'd ask him if he agreed with you and questions you'd ask if he didn't and go from there
