Therapeutic alternatives to self-disclosure include practicing active listening, empathy, and reflection in therapy sessions. Therapists can focus on validating clients' experiences and emotions without sharing personal details. Encouraging clients to explore their thoughts and feelings can also promote healing without the need for self-disclosure.
Vertical disclosure is when a person self-discloses some content about themselves (such as an act they did) and goes deeper and deeper in the way of details. Horizontal disclosure is a meta-disclosure; when a person discloses about their disclosure (how it felt to disclose, why they felt comfortable or uncomfortable in disclosing, etc.).
No, it is not normal. It is normally considered very taboo in fact. If your therapist told you just one thing to show you that they understood what you were talking about that is fine. This is Limited Self Disclosure and in some circumstances is considered a therapeutic necessity. However if it went beyond that it is very unusual and maybe it is something you should address in your next session by telling the therapist it made you very uncomfortable. If you are at a 'clinic' where there are senior staff you can then choose to take it further if you feel you are not able to deal with it in your 50 mins.
Self-disclosure is when a person shares information about themselves that they they would not normally share, with someone else. Self-disclosure can be made by conscious or unconscious decisions to do so. Some examples of this would be telling a counselor personal information about yourself because you feel that they can help you. Self disclosing is also used in relationships when individuals know their partners on a more personal level, and it is used to build intimacy as well. Someone with an STD would also want to self-disclose to their partner that they have a disease before doing anything.

Religion is supposed to teach 'honesty'. 'Self-disclosure' is a combination of 'honesty' and 'humility'. Unlike their secular contemporaries, who recorded only their good conquests and achievements; many Bible writers included some negative 'self-disclosures'. Moses recorded his own failings; and the failing of the Israelites he was leading. Likewise did David. The prophets recorded the failings of God's people. Even the failings of the apostles is recorded. They did not hide their failings. At the same time, once you repent of your bad things, by 'self-disclosure'; then there's no need to continue to bring up the past. Often it leads to 'self-condemnation'. People can get so paranoid about their failings -- it's like they don't think God can ever forgive them. This is the bad side of constant 'self-disclosure'. (There's a saying: Forgive and forget. That means you don't need to 'self-disclose' those past things that were forgiven. Forget them - - don't disclose them.)
