My Ts routinely and within the context of my therapy (and my benefit for trust, validation, not feeling alone) their own struggles/trauma history. The disclosures are extremely limited in detail and they disclose things unrelated to trauma routinely as well. They also try to normalize and validate by saying so many others have gone through the same thing.
The problem is T1 seems to have gone through the exact same set of issues I have with minor exceptions (and even these may just be cases of non-disclosure). My other T has gone through what sounds like considerable abuse and trauma herself.
I do not want them to stop disclosing which is why Im avoiding bringing this up. I feel however very badly about discussing my issues and unworthy of my Ts time or care for my issues. I dont feel alone in my experiences; I know my Ts hear everything and my issues (though the collection of them is unique to me) are shared with millions. I have a history of wanting to take care of others as well as feeling my stuff, though trauma is subjective, as much less than the amount of help I recieve.
What I want is to feel comfort and solidarity, that my T is more connected, understands, and empathizes. But I can't.
