My T sometimes kind of gives me that "nurturing parent" when I need it. Sometimes she does tell me what I need to hear but she never tells me what I "want" to hear. I really trust and respect her and know she calls me on my stuff when I need it. Sometimes our Ts job is to just give us a little emotional support and soothing and sometimes it's to push us or challenge us. I would talk to her about it at your next session and see what she says.
