It isn't necessarily what the T is focused on that we find creepy; it is how it is being phrased. Just very stilted and unnatural. I know part of the problem is that it just reads like a therapy "manual" (which is actually what it is I guess): if clients says X; therapist should respond with Y. Therapists hopefully don't work from a manual in front of them; we just prefer they're comments/observations/questions sound like they are coming from a human rather than a textbook somewhere.
