From your tone - as far as i can deduce from reading it here - you are sounding pretty serious about your "failings". I think your t is choosing NOT to confront you with an argument as to why you are wrong in your thinking. He is more encouraging you to take your thoughts to their logical conclusion? I.e., just to think them out, follow your train of thought - if you keep contradicting them, you simply become better at arguing with yourself, at having this argument - "i'm dumb! No you arent! Yes i am!" Better at going around in circles. I think he's trying to get you out of that loop. Do all ts do that in exactly that way? Well - do all clients do that in exactly that way? And are all clients as smart as you are - and are all ts? Lots of variables there!
