Interesting! For me anxiety would go up if my T wasn't spot-on about what I was feeling. If she was, I would feel good. Heard and understood. My T has never guessed wrong - but she actually doesn't guess much. Anyway, how does a T know he/she is right? If he/she doesn't know, then assumptions should not be made.
If they make assumptions, and you have difficulty defining how you are feeling anyway, this can create a tricky situation where T might convince you that you are feeling differently than you really are. Hmm.
