Good question. My T HAS done this. Can you imagine what it's like, having someone tell you, "Ugh, you sound just like your mother!" Because part of the way this works is, not only do we revert to acting like children, but even worse, we revert to acting like our parent when our back is against the wall - when we don't know how to ask another adult for what we want, we will treat them like a child. The ultimate goal in therapy I guess is to have 2 adults talking to each other. For me anyway.
