This reminds me of one of my first sessions with my T, when he asked, "you've done therapy before?" and I nodded and he moved on. Then I thought wait, if he thinks I did therapy, he will think I know how to do this, and I have absolutely no clue! My previous (and first) therapist was not even helpful so I definitely did not know how to do therapy, so I amended my answer to something like, "but I don't really now how to do this," and I expected T to then give an explanation of how to do therapy, impart the knowledge he thought I should have gained by having done a short course of therapy before. The magic knowledge! But he didn't explain anything! So I was never sure why he even asked that question of me. What was it he was expecting me to know if I had done therapy before?
