I don't for a minute believe that this is true of most therapists out there. My T told me once that the therapist part of his person was a very genuine part of his person. So perhaps they do try to discover in themselves what you need, but that does not mean they are not being authentic with you. If they didn't care about us, I don't think they could do very much to genuinely help us. I'm happy to know that your therapist confirmed this.
