I would feel like the T was criticizing me, but that's due my family history, and I struggle with viewing all pointed questions and advice as criticisms. It's not something I would feel comfortable with, and I'm glad I found a T that doesn't do that.

I think it depends on what kind of therapy you want, and what you need in a T. I need a T that I do not feel is judging me, and that I feel accepts me as who I am, regardless of what I tell her. I found that in my T, and when I'm not panicking, I do feel able to openly share with her, without fear of criticisms.

I think you need to ask yourself what you really need in a T. If this T is not what you really need, maybe you can find one that is. Or, perhaps you can talk to your T about how his comments make you feel, and see if you can work through it.
