Is you ask directly, T should say, "No two cases are exactly alike, and yours does have some unusual features. But the basic issues of love and shame and fear and anger apply to everyone."

I am the one who asked her straight out "
Have you ever had a client who shut down and was not able to talk for most of the session?" She normally will not answer questions like that, but I kept wanting to know. She tells me all the time that I tend to compare myself to others. And if I don't do things like most others do, I think I am the weird one.
She also tells me that I am the only one we are focusing on and that it does not matter if everyone else does this or that, I am the one that we are focusing on, not them. I have a tendency to deflect by trying to make my session about someone else and not me.
