If so I would urge you to share this thought with her. Would make for a good discussion and increase understanding between the two of you.

It was in the email. What you say about it being hard to know what someone really means [in an email], that's why I found it difficult and deconstructed it :/ I don't usually communicate with my T this way. Someone else may not read it as placating at all! I feel, at least in part, that this was just my interpretation
after deconstructing it...

May have been, at least in part, my response to what I myself wrote to
her...
I don't think she placates me in person, more that she's understanding and sympathetic... which is probably how I should have interpreted the email.
It just got me thinking
