If I'm understanding right, then it seems like you've come to an important self realization here and are onto something big.

If you go into session acting strong, in control and "fine", then that is how your t will respond to you. Therapists are not able to read our minds and should attempt to create a problem if their client is telling them there isn't one (print saying anything). That is why they are supposed to avoid leading statements.

However us patients, andeven the general public, tend to have this view of the T as having a kind of sixth sense about their patients, that they are supposed to just know what is going on inside of us because thats what they do.

The reality is thats reallynot what they do. Theyve been trained in theory and effective communication. From this theyve learned the skills to help us identify these things in ourselves. From there he can guide you on how to handle them from here. So option number 2 :-)
