I need to have emotions mirrored to me at times, i need to know my t cares enough to hve any sort of emotion about me or my situation. And this T only volunteered how she was feeling once asked by the client which i think is good practice.
Also i think that it has spurred you on to reach out a bit and risk connecting with her which is a good thing. To have let you continue to stay in your safe protected little huddle and not say a word about it would have been wrong in my opinion.

This is how I feel too- my T can be very neutral at times, and it unnerves me because I want to know what she is really thinking. Hopefully most Ts are non-judgmental, but most of them will still have their opinions I think. She didn't share how she was feeling until I specifically said that she could have felt frustration, so she wasn't going out of her way to tell me. I agree that I will know that the positives that she says are true only if she is honest with me about the negatives. This has unnerved me, but I do think I will respond to it by trying harder.
