I think they SOUND like an interrogation because nothing developed into a discussion. The T tried a line of questioning, and the client was not open to discussing any of it. These ARE things that people come to therapy to discuss; if the T refused to, then I think we have a problem. If the client is not ready to, okay. If the client has issues but never wants to discuss them, that is the client's choice, of course, but the T does not want to be complicit, a party to her denial; wouldn't be a very good T if he did, if he saw issues with something usually considered essential to one's happiness - Freud said work and love - and didn't bring it up. A person can't know what your preferences are for talking about things - if a person sees a person of another gender for medical care BY CHOICE, I would assume they would be okay with discussing things. Because we have a choice, don't we? There are plenty of medical personnel of many genders available.
