I think you're on the right track with your thoughts. He is contradicting the way you're used to, and it doesn't "feel right". I've had a similar thing with my T with the fact that he's always there. I come in for an appt, and there he is. It's nice, but it puzzles me. I'm just starting to realize that it's not supposed to be that way. No one was ever there for me, and that's what I expect. And the fact that he IS ... well, it's just strange and I'm very suspicious of it. Weird.

Another thought is that often when someone compliments me, I feel pressured. Or like I'm fooling them. I haven't figured this out yet, but when I read your post I know if someone said I was doing great at therapy I would feel pressure. IDK.....
