To fellow SPs, how open are you about your personal life (friends, family, projects, childhood etc) with clients?
I don't have much of a filter. I talk freely for the most part. I can talk about kids as a parent, but I don't like the moment what gender of my kids comes up. I prefer clients see my kids as genderless. We can share our parenting and stuff, it comes up when with dads looking to share about their kids.
Or I will talk about what I do for my other job, but I don't like when they start to narrow it down to what location, or what name is on the front of the building.
I also tend to be protective of information on my friendships and colleagues. I am willing to talk about myself, but I am not willing to talk about them, beyond saying they are lovely people and mean a lot to me.
My relationship and it's dynamic is fine to talk about. It does seem to intrigue others, and is so much a part of who I am. Can't mistake the thick metal collar always present, It is worn like a badge of honor.
