agree w/ lancehernot, tigercat and timothe - not on the first date [esp if i am paying for that time - i'd demand the stop watch be put on pause!]. even in civilian life, i wouldnt want to hear all about her problems, issues, family disputes, etc.
one provider, in between consulting activities, told me waaaaaaaaaaay too much info about her kids, her ex, her bf [who was in jail but getting out soon], her problems w/ other providers, etc..... never consulted w/ her again.
cos a) if she's telling me that, what is she telling others? and b) i have enough stuff going on in my life.
but, like tigercat said, if i've been consulting w/ her for a while [>6 mos], then i might let her start telling me about stuff, but i reserve the right to redirect her energies in a more deliteful direction.
