Solarwind,
I would be put-off by that question too. To me it would feel almost accusatory? demanding? I'm not sure. I guess it would really depend on the context and the tone of voice. But from just reading about it in your post, I don't like it.
Maybe that's just me though, and the baggage I bring to it. With my last two T's, I've gotten the sense that they don't think I don't want to work. I actually asked my last T about it, and she said that she knew I wanted to work, because I drove 90 minutes to get there after working all day, and I never missed a session. And why would I do that if I wasn't motivated.
But then she said other things that made me think differently.
I felt like there were mixed messages and it confused me, and of course I felt like the indirect messages were true, and the direct answer she gave me was not true. Maybe that is just my trust issues?
Sorry for my rambling, Solarwind. For me, this question would be a red flag about the T. I agree with the others and that you should ask the T about what she meant. I guess you will have to trust your gut instinct about whether or not you trust the answer.
