Why do many psychologists give so little information about themselves? Questions and discussions of a similar kind come up here and there quite regularly. I can't answer for all for sure, we are all different, but I will try to speak for myself.
I'll start from the very beginning, the moment of choice. How is a psychologist selected? You look through photographs of various psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, pay attention to education, to the texts that came from the pen of these specialists, to the price of a consultation. Many of these people are interesting to you, many are pleasant. How can you make a choice? But somehow one photo or text "hits" and you make a decision. You just feel that way.
Is this choice conscious? - partly yes. And, just in part, this choice was made unconsciously, if you like, instinctively. Why is this possible? Because your unconscious somehow knows, feels that this particular person can help you. How this happens, neither Jung nor Freud knew. It just happens. And the point.
But this is possible only if the specialist you have chosen remains "neutral" for you. Those. you do not know anything about his personal life, about his habits, preferences, beliefs. All this knowledge about the psychologist distracts from your own questions. In the space of therapy or analysis, there is only room for your personal material. But your psychotherapy has already begun at the time of choosing a specialist!
And in further work, it is only important what happens to you. Only those beliefs and events that are important to you. Only then do you have the opportunity to project your unconscious material onto the psychologist and deal with this personal unconscious material as if with a separate object. And in this process, unnecessary information about the psychologist - at least not useful, at the most - harms the process of psychotherapy. So such secrecy of specialists working in the field of psychotherapy is very, very justified, in my opinion.
That is why I adhere to this approach: do not give public information about the family and about significant personal events in life.

Buddhists say that life is suffering. And suffering is something that needs to be overcome. But life does not stop with the disappearance of suffering. Hence, suffering is the preamble of life . A person has a special organ in order to experience suffering, he is no longer fit for anything else.
