My previous t would give me advice, but always prefaced with "I'm not giving you advice" or "I'm not telling you what to do." But when I would specifically ask for advice he would tell me he can't give me advice. One time when he gave me his opinion and I said that I did not want his opinion, he replied "So what are we doing here?"

Current t does not give advice, but she uses "I wonder" statements a lot, which I think is her way of putting ideas in my head without actually saying that is what she is doing. For example, "I wonder what would happen if you said xyz to your mother?"
