I think of my T as often asking questions along those lines.

I don't think there's any right answer to that particular question but I would imagine it would be beneficial to you to discuss with your T the way it made you feel.

From what you've said it doesn't feel to me like any judgement was passed. At least when my T asks something like this I think she is just asking me... to find the answer inside myself as to why I did or did not do something.

Often it's something I haven't stopped to question for a second and if my T hadn't stopped to question me on it I would not have realised why I have done (or not done) something.

With her help and through questions like this I sometimes gain more insight as to why I might have avoided doing something in particular (like telling a friend that I'm sad to hear that they are unwell and that I care).

I'm also not saying that's what you should do myself, but that maybe all your T meant was to see if there was any reason you had decided not to say something to your friend and whether that was the right choice for you.
Thanks for this!
