Hey treehouse, excuse me for jumping in here but I just happened to log on today and read this thread. It seems sometimes our T's might have "supervision" or read something that they want to try out on us. For example, his words if they don't sound like he usually is, might be a feeble attempt to make you feel better because he is trying something other than he what normally does or says to see if it works better than what he normally does or says. I find in my therapy, T has moments of this where I just go WHAT???? Is this the same person I've been working with all along? Then I think, well he probably had a case consult. I hate feeling like a CASE.
Take care of yourself.
