You know I was reading about this... About it being one of the paradoxes of therapy that therapists encourage you to use them to meet needs and when you do they turn around and interpret it as childish. I'm probably not using the right words, but for instance they encourage transference for you to see them as nurturing your needs and then want you to reach out and maybe ask for a hug and then tell you your wanting that hug was somehow based on some childhood need. Very frustrating, almost manipulative. I think my therapist has done this too, subtly encourage me to text him and show my neediness and then sometimes decide just not to reply to force me to interpret how pathetic my feelings are.

Thanks for this!
